What to do if you have pubic pain after cesarean section

Nowadays, many people choose caesarean section, but then the problem arises. Many women experience pubic pain after a caesarean section. In fact, this is not just a symptom experienced by pregnant women who have had caesarean sections. Many pregnant women who have given birth naturally will also feel pubic pain. So this is a common phenomenon and you don’t need to worry too much. So what should we do if we have pubic pain after childbirth? The editor below will explain it to you.

1. Early postpartum activity

Getting up and moving around as soon as possible after a caesarean section can help with pelvic recovery and relieve pubic pain. Within 1 to 2 days after a caesarean section, the new mother must eat and go to the toilet in bed. If the mother is in good physical condition, some mothers can get out of bed and move around about 24 hours after the cesarean section. Getting out of bed and moving around as early as possible can also help intestinal peristalsis, relieve abdominal bloating, and prevent vascular embolism. You can get out of bed and move around every day afterwards. However, since the wound has not yet healed, you will feel uncomfortable in the first 2-3 days. You can use an abdominal belt to support the wound during activities to relieve pain.

2. Pelvic Exercise

Pelvic exercises should be performed at least two weeks after delivery. Pelvic exercises help the pelvis and its muscles recover. Mommy put her hands on the ground and knelt down. Lift one foot and stretch it back, feeling a stretch from your hip to your ankle. Alternate between left and right feet 5 times.

3. The mattress is moderately soft and hard

Many people don't realize the relationship between mattresses and recovery after a C-section. A mattress that is too soft will cause the mother's body to fall when she sleeps, and the spine and pelvis will be under too much pressure and will not get rest; a bed that is too hard will compress the heavier pelvic area of ​​the human body and cause pelvic tilt. Therefore, an ideal bed should be moderately soft and hard. When we lie on our backs, the curve of our body should fit perfectly with the mattress, and the head, face, thorax, and pelvis should provide horizontal support for the spine.

It turns out that giving birth is a very hard thing. Not only do mothers feel physical discomfort when they are pregnant, but they also need careful care after giving birth to avoid causing any harm to the body. I hope the above methods can be of some help to mothers who experience pubic pain after childbirth. I wish you all good health and a happy life.
