Postpartum low back pain

Introduction Postpartum low back pain, that is, low back pain after delivery, is related to reflex pain caused by postpartum uterine contraction. Postpartum back pain is a common phenomenon among women who have already given birth. Generally, there are several reasons: physiological calcium deficiency, overwork, improper posture, postpartum cold, inadvertent living, flashing kidney and lumbosacral congenital diseases, or cold may cause postpartum back pain. After the delivery, the endocrine system has not been adjusted, the pelvic ligament is still in a relaxed state, and the abdominal muscles are also slack due to childbirth; plus postpartum care, the baby should often bend over, or the bad discharge of the lochia can cause blood stasis. Patients with postpartum low back pain are not suitable to wear shoes with heel. If you have the condition, you can choose negative heel shoes to correct posture and rehabilitation exercise. Usually, you should pay attention to maintaining proper standing and sitting posture.

Cause

1. Pregnancy causes a great change in the endocrine system. In order to facilitate the delivery of the fetus during childbirth, the ligaments that connect the pelvis also become slack. Adding one day's uterus increases the support of the pregnant mother's waist gradually, causing the sacrospinous ligament to relax, compressing the pelvic nerves and blood vessels and causing low back pain.

2. Changes in the endocrine system after childbirth will not return to pre-pregnancy status very quickly. The pelvic ligament is still in a relaxed state for a period of time, and the abdominal muscles become weak and weak. The uterus is not completely reset quickly, causing low back pain.

3, postpartum Mummy should often bend over to take care of the baby, such as bathing, wearing clothes, changing diapers, often picking up the baby from the cradle, or the poor discharge of the lochia caused by pelvic blood deposition, are easy to induce lumbar pain.

4, many moms less activity after childbirth, always lying or sitting on the bed to recuperate; plus weight gain, increased abdominal fat, increased the load of the waist muscles, causing lumbar muscle strain and low back pain.

5, after the birth, do not pay attention to rest to make the body too tired, or often standing for a long time, long time, sedentary or tight waist, etc., can lead to lumbar muscle strain, induce low back pain.

6, the postpartum contraceptive method is not appropriate, resulting in a number of artificial abortions, or sexual intercourse, causing kidney damage and causing low back pain.

7, wearing high-heeled shoes prematurely, so that the body's center of gravity forward, in addition to causing foot pain and other discomfort, but also through the reflection involving the waist, so that the waist produces a sore feeling.

8, often take the improper or not relaxed posture to feed the baby, so that the waist muscles are always in a state of non-relaxation, the waist muscles are damaged.

9, the normal position of the uterus is forward leaning, flexion, if uterine prolapse occurs, it will shift down the vagina, causing low back pain.

10, inadvertently affected by wet and cold after childbirth, resulting in meridians and meridians, resulting in poor blood circulation, causing low back pain.
