Why does my lower back hurt so much after my second caesarean section?

In recent years, many families have started to have a second child. If they choose to have a caesarean section when having a second child, the mothers will be very weak after delivery, especially because the caesarean section will cause a large loss of blood, so anemia symptoms are likely to occur after delivery. At this time, you should eat more foods that replenish qi and blood. After the caesarean section, you must pay attention to the comprehensiveness of nutrition. Some women experience low back pain after the caesarean section. What causes this?

Why does my lower back hurt so much after my second caesarean section?

Cesarean section requires anesthesia, and the anesthesia method usually chosen is combined epidural anesthesia. If you are well anesthetized before the operation, you will not feel pain during the operation. There are also postoperative analgesia devices after delivery, so it will not be very painful. Therefore, there is no need to worry about pain during cesarean section. The pain caused by uterine contractions in the early postpartum period is called "postpartum pain". This is due to the postpartum tonic contraction of the uterus, which causes relative ischemia and hypoxia of the uterus itself. Multiparas have more fibrous tissue in the uterine myometrium and are relatively more ischemic during uterine contractions, so postpartum pain is often more obvious than that of primiparas. There is no difference in the pain sensation during cesarean section, and the uterine pain after delivery is more obvious than the first cesarean section.

Generally, fetal pressure, local cold, and prolonged posture during pregnancy can lead to local qi and blood disharmony, causing low back pain. It is recommended to apply local hot compress, which can relax muscles and promote blood circulation. Be careful not to bend over, sit or stand in one posture for a long time, and move your body parts appropriately.

If the first child was delivered by caesarean section, then you need to pay attention to the adjustment of delivery. Generally speaking, it depends on the recovery situation, the location of the operation, and the current interval. If it is 2 years, the location of the operation is still very low, and the uterus has recovered well, you can still try, but think about it only after checking first.

Generally speaking, the postpartum recovery after a caesarean section takes relatively long. It usually takes about one to one and a half years before you can consider having a second baby. It is best to have a gap of two years. If you are an older mother, it is best to complete the delivery before the age of 35, so that you can give birth to a relatively healthy baby.
