Why is my waist still hurting one month after my cesarean section?

Caesarean section refers to a method of giving birth through surgery, which is also very common in real life. However, caesarean section is very harmful to the body. It seriously damages the body's vitality and can easily lead to some sequelae. It is also common to have low back pain one month after a caesarean section. It may be caused by poor health, so you need to pay more attention to your body in daily life.

Why do I still have back pain one month after my cesarean section?

Generally, there may be a few symptoms in the first few months. However, these symptoms usually disappear after half a year, except when it is cloudy, rainy, or when the climate changes, when it still causes dull pain, but this is not a big problem.

What are the sequelae of cesarean section ?

1. Unsightly scars

Some pregnant women will find that the caesarean section scar from their second pregnancy is much uglier than that from their first. This is because women who are expecting their second child often take it lightly and over-supplement their diet, or because their abdominal muscles are stretched and unable to recover after multiple pregnancies. These can cause the lower abdomen to protrude and increase the tension on the wound, making the scar particularly obvious.

2. Affecting the relationship between mother and child

Research results show that natural childbirth stimulates the production of hormones in the cervix and vagina of mothers, enhancing their feelings for their babies, which is crucial for becoming good mothers in the future. Brain research shows that the intense brain activity during natural childbirth can regulate the mother's emotions and daily behavior, helping them to successfully care for their children in the future. Cesarean section involves making an incision in the mother's abdominal wall to take the baby out of the uterus directly, which changes the mother's "neurological and hormonal experience" during childbirth and may reduce the intimacy between mother and child.

3. Cesarean section incision pregnancy

It is easy to cause cesarean section incision pregnancy. Cesarean section incision pregnancy is when a woman becomes pregnant again within one or two years after having a cesarean section. The gestational sac is easily attached to the incision scar, and heavy bleeding is likely to occur during miscarriage. If you don't want to have an abortion and want to have another child, it is not possible as it will endanger the life of the fetus.

Is Caesarean Section Painful?

The pain of cesarean section mainly occurs after delivery. Spinal anesthesia (lower body anesthesia) is generally used during delivery, and the mother will not feel severe pain. After the operation is completed and the wound is sutured, the anesthesia gradually disappears and there will be severe pain in the wound and waist. Your doctor will recommend the use of an analgesic stick to relieve pain after surgery.

1. Pain in the belly wound

A cesarean section will leave a scar on the belly, which will be accompanied by pain during the recovery process. 2-3 weeks after the surgical incision has healed, the scar will begin to proliferate. When the wound turns dark brown, the scar may become painful and itchy. New mothers should keep the scar clean, wipe off sweat in time, and avoid scratching with their hands to avoid aggravating local irritation.

2. Pain during urinary catheterization

A caesarean section requires a urinary catheter and you should lie flat as much as possible for 24 hours. Many mothers who have undergone caesarean section feel that it is painful when the catheter is inserted, accompanied by a feeling of bloating and pain.

3. Postpartum uterine contraction pain

Natural childbirth will cause uterine contraction pain, and caesarean section is also inevitable. The principle of postpartum uterine contractions is the same as that of uterine labor pains during childbirth, both of which are caused by intermittent contractions of the uterus. The purpose of postpartum uterine contraction is to help stop uterine bleeding and expel residual blood clots inside the uterus to promote uterine recovery.
