What to do with back pain after childbirth

If women do not take proper care of themselves during the confinement period, it is easy to cause postpartum disease. One of the more obvious symptoms of postpartum disease is lower back pain. If you do not pay attention to timely conditioning, it may even leave a root of the disease. At this time, you must check and treat it early, pay attention to good rest, strengthen diet conditioning, do some physical massage, and avoid catching cold. To prevent greater harm to health.

1. Detect and treat early. During the month of confinement, no matter what disease you have, you should discover it early and seek medical treatment in time. If some women have persistent fever after delivery, it is necessary to find out the cause and be alert to possible infectious lesions in the body, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, mastitis, inflammation of the episiotomy wound or cesarean section wound, etc. Once diagnosed, effective anti-infection treatment should be carried out in time. If you do not take it seriously and mistakenly think it is a common cold and do not seek medical treatment in time, the inflammation will spread or become a chronic lesion, and the course of the disease will easily migrate or even become incurable.

2. Symptomatic treatment. Whether it is normal or during the "confinement period", if you get sick you should go to a regular hospital to see a professional doctor for treatment. However, if one blindly seeks medical treatment, is keen on folk remedies and secret recipes, or takes it for granted to buy medicines on his own, etc., it is possible to delay diagnosis and treatment, causing the disease to become chronic and long-term. If you have already suffered from the so-called "postpartum disease" such as low back pain, you should be treated under the guidance of a specialist with a comprehensive treatment method including medication, physical therapy, and physical exercise.

3. Daily diet. Dietary care during the postpartum period is as important as that during pregnancy. Because mothers need extra nutrition to make up for the consumption during delivery and breastfeeding. However, within the first one or two days after delivery, the mother should eat light and easily digestible food. In the future, the diet should be nutritious and provide enough calories. Do not overeat or starve, do not eat raw, cold or spicy food, and do not go on a diet for fear of obesity. Eat more milk, rice bran, bran, carrots and other foods rich in vitamins C, D and B vitamins, increase the proportion of vegetarian food in the diet, and avoid osteoporosis caused by low back pain.

4. Rest, recuperation and exercise. After giving birth, the mother will be very tired, so she should rest in bed for the first two days. While resting in bed. But you still need to turn over and move more often. You can get up to wash, brush your teeth, and go to the bathroom. Before getting up, you should sit up for a while and only get out of bed when you don't feel dizzy. If you have always been in good health and fatigue has been eliminated, you can get up 24 hours after giving birth. As for the amount of activity after getting up, it should be increased slowly. On the first day after getting up, sit by the bed for half an hour in the morning and evening. On the second day, you can walk around the room, and then gradually increase the range and time of activities.
