Causes of postpartum back pain

1. Pregnancy causes great changes in the endocrine system. In order to ensure the smooth delivery of the fetus during childbirth, the ligaments connecting the pelvis also become loose. In addition, the growing uterus gradually increases the support for the pregnant mother's waist, causing the sacrospinous ligament to relax, compressing the pelvic nerves and blood vessels and causing low back pain.

2. The endocrine system changes after delivery and will not return to its pre-pregnancy state quickly. The pelvic ligaments remain relaxed for a period of time, the abdominal muscles become weaker, and the uterus fails to fully return to its original position quickly, causing low back pain.

3. Postpartum mothers often have to bend over to take care of the baby, such as bathing, dressing, changing diapers, and frequently picking up the baby from the cradle, etc., or poor discharge of lochia may cause blood congestion in the pelvic cavity, which can easily induce low back pain.

5. Not paying attention to rest after childbirth and making the body too tired, or often standing, squatting, sitting for a long time, or wearing a waist that is too tight, etc., can lead to lumbar muscle strain and induce low back pain.

6. Improper postpartum contraceptive methods lead to frequent abortions, or excessive sexual intercourse, which damages the kidney qi and causes low back pain.

7. Wearing high heels too early after childbirth will shift the body's center of gravity forward. In addition to causing discomfort such as foot pain, it can also affect the waist through reflexes, causing soreness in the waist.

8. Frequently adopting an inappropriate or unrelaxed posture to feed the baby will cause the waist muscles to always be in a tense state and cause damage to the waist muscles.
