Pain in the buttocks after giving birth

In fact, giving birth can cause great harm to the mother's body. Therefore, after giving birth, you must pay close attention to various changes in your body to avoid missing out on corresponding sequelae. Many women choose to sit in confinement to promote their body's recovery, but a small number of women find that their coccyx hurts inexplicably after giving birth. What causes this symptom?

Pain in the buttocks bones after giving birth may be related to fetal pressure during pregnancy, force applied during delivery, etc. Pay attention to rest, avoid sitting for long periods of time or overwork, do not maintain a posture for a long time, and move appropriately. You can choose to apply hot compresses to the painful area, supplement calcium appropriately, eat more calcium-rich foods, lie down with the painful side facing up and arched back to help relieve the symptoms. Don't be too nervous and don't hold your baby for too long.

1. Wound care

After delivery, you must pay attention to infection issues in time. The integrity of the skin is the first line of defense to protect the body. Therefore, the local redness, swelling, heat, and pain of the wound must not be underestimated. As long as the discomfort persists or purulent secretions appear, remember to return to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

Keep the wound clean and dry

Prevent scarring

Pay attention to nutritional intake

Moderate exercise

Body Cleansing

Do not lift heavy objects

2. Diet adjustment

Combine meat and vegetables, and avoid over-supplementing them. After giving birth, the functions of the mother's stomach, kidneys, internal organs and other organs have not yet recovered. If she blindly takes supplements at this time, it will cause a certain burden on her body.

In addition to eating tonic foods such as chicken soup, new mothers' diet should also include vegetables, fruits, etc., so as to balance the nutrition, promote digestion, and prevent postpartum constipation. The nutritional needs after childbirth are higher than during pregnancy. Try to ensure the high quality of meals, diversify the food varieties, and make it soft and delicious. Eat more soups and vegetables, and combine dry and liquid foods, meat and vegetables.

3. Postpartum hip repair

After giving birth, many mothers don’t like to laugh or dare to sneeze easily. It’s not that they don’t want to, but they may be afraid. If they are not careful, they may laugh or sneeze. This is because the mother’s pelvic muscles are damaged.

The mother should choose a mattress with moderate hardness and softness, and sleep on her side or back, which is beneficial to the recovery of the pelvis.

Correct bad sitting posture. You can’t cross your legs;

Eat more calcium-rich foods to strengthen bone nutrition;

In the later stages of childbirth, mothers should consciously do uterine contraction exercises at home frequently to slowly restore the contraction strength of the pelvic floor muscles. After a period of time, incontinence will ease and disappear on its own;

4. Lochia observation

When washing your hair after childbirth, be sure not to let your head get cold, because the cold air will run along the liver meridian, one of the twelve meridians of the human body, which can easily cause blood clotting, making it difficult to expel lochia. Normal lochia has a bloody smell, but it is not smelly. It will be clean about three weeks after delivery.
