People with professional knowledge should know that the sciatic nerve is actually the largest nerve in the human body, and the sciatic nerve mainly manages and controls the normal movement of the lower body. Therefore, the sciatic nerve is widely distributed in the human body, mainly around the buttocks. For mothers, they experience many physical discomforts after giving birth, but is sciatic nerve pain normal after giving birth? Generally speaking, the causes of sciatica after having a baby may be the following: 1. The growth of the fetus puts pressure on the back. In the late pregnancy, the weight of the fetus will increase the pressure on your back and squeeze the sciatic nerve, causing intense pain below the waist to the legs. 2. Edema during pregnancy is an important reason. Because the uterus compresses the inferior vena cava, venous return is blocked and water is not easy to return to the heart for metabolism. Therefore, it can cause pitting edema of the lower limbs, such as the back, calves, feet, etc., which can easily compress the sciatic nerve and cause pain symptoms. For patients who need to treat sciatica, they can choose some folk remedies, such as the following: the required materials are 15 grams of Angelica dahurica, 12 grams of Lingxian, 10 grams of Qiannianjian, 12 grams of Eucommia ulmoides, 15 grams of Achyranthes bidentata, 12 grams of Dipsacus asper, 10 grams of papaya, 30 grams of Millettia reticulata, 9 grams of Safflower, 12 grams of Angelica sinensis, 9 grams of Chuanxiong, and 10 grams of Pheretima. The recommended usage is decocted in water, 1 dose per day, twice a day. The main effects are relaxing muscles and tendons, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain. At the same time, during the illness, patients with sciatica should also pay attention to keeping the waist warm and try not to catch cold. Wear a waist belt (waist belt) during the day to strengthen the protection of the waist and back, which is also beneficial to the recovery of lumbar spondylosis; do not bend over and do strenuous movements (such as mopping the floor...) during normal times. Try to stay in bed during the acute attack period. Even after the pain period is relieved, pay attention to proper rest and do not overwork to avoid aggravating the pain. The above is the basic information about sciatica that patients and friends need to know. Patients with questions are welcome to communicate with their attending physicians! |
