What to do if you have back pain after childbirth

Many people suffer from back pain after childbirth because they do not have a scientific confinement. If the back pain is severe, they cannot participate in their activities normally and cannot live a normal life. If you have back pain after childbirth, you must find the right reason so that your back pain can be improved and relieved in time. So what should you do with back pain after childbirth?

After giving birth, women often experience back pain. This is a normal physiological reaction, so don't worry too much about it. However, it is important to remind you that you should pay more attention to rest after giving birth! Through proper rest, you can effectively relieve the symptoms of back pain.

1) Causes

1. Because the weight on the waist of pregnant women increases during pregnancy, the spine is lordotic, and the back extensor muscles are constantly tense, causing "fatigue soreness" in the lower back or above the sacrum. 2. Some mothers spend most of their time lying in bed during the "confinement period" and rarely move, which can also cause lumbar muscle fatigue and aggravate lower back pain.

2) Solution

1. Allow the waist and back muscles to get proper rest, because when the muscles are in pain, they will release a pain substance that continues to stimulate the surrounding tissues, causing contraction of blood vessels and muscles, and causing new pain. If they are not well cared for, it will become a vicious cycle and the pain will continue.

2. Spend as much time as possible lying down. This can reduce the burden on the muscles around the spine that support the body upright and relax them. Generally, many Chinese medicinal materials are added to tonic foods, and wine is used as a medicine guide. These Chinese medicinal materials can relax the meridians and promote blood circulation, dilate capillaries, and increase blood circulation.

3. You can lie flat on your back on the bed, bend your knees and bring them towards your chest. Hold your knees with both hands, slowly exert force, and bring them as close to your chest as possible. Maintain this position for 1-2 seconds, and then return to lying flat. You can also sit upright on a chair with your legs apart, relax your hands between your knees, bend your body forward and touch the floor, and then immediately return to an upright sitting position. Please note that you should return to a sitting position quickly, but bend down slowly.

Kind Tips: It is recommended that mothers should start exercising as soon as possible when their physical strength begins to recover after delivery to avoid fatigue injuries to the waist muscles. In addition, tapping and massaging the back from top to bottom on both sides of the spine can also help relieve postpartum back pain. Of course, if your pain symptoms are very severe, you should go to the hospital to explain the situation to the doctor in detail and undergo relevant examinations.

If you have back pain after childbirth, you must use these methods to relieve the pain. Don't take painkillers casually. If you want to breastfeed your child after childbirth, you can't take medicine blindly. Taking medicine may affect the child's development and cause the child to suffer from some diseases. Postpartum back pain should be treated with physical therapy first, rest more, and exercise more.
