How much damage does a caesarean section do to the waist?

Most modern women choose cesarean section for childbirth because this technology is a great invention in modern medicine. It solves the problem of difficult labor for most women, improves the survival rate of newborns and pregnant women, and is a very beneficial contribution to mankind. However, cesarean section is not a panacea and will also produce certain side effects. For example, how much damage does a cesarean section do to the waist?

Effects of cesarean section on waist:

Nowadays, more and more women prefer to choose caesarean section, but caesarean section will cause some sequelae, such as low back pain. Low back pain may occur after a cesarean section, and a big reason for this is that the cesarean section causes damage to the muscles and ligaments in the lower back, leading to low back pain. The anesthesia during cesarean section is epidural anesthesia, which requires a puncture in the waist. This puncture will cause certain damage to the muscles and ligaments of the waist and back, causing postpartum low back pain. A very small number of patients may suffer from nerve root damage, epidural hemorrhage, etc.

Solution:

To avoid postpartum back pain, mothers should pay more attention to rest after delivery and keep their head and back warm. If properly cared for, postpartum back pain can heal itself within 3 months after delivery. If the situation does not improve, you should go to a regular hospital for a test and receive symptomatic treatment after a confirmed diagnosis.

First, take appropriate calcium supplements after childbirth. A big reason for postpartum back pain is calcium deficiency in the body. If you eat more high-calcium foods after childbirth, you can avoid postpartum back pain caused by calcium deficiency.

Second, exercise appropriately after delivery. You can try walking backwards, which can force the body's center of gravity to move backward, exercise the waist muscles to relieve pain, and correct the symptoms of lumbar curvature and lumbar lordosis.

Third, pay attention to keeping your waist warm. The body is very weak after childbirth, so the head and waist should be kept warm to avoid illness caused by cold.

Fourth, avoid stretching the lumbar muscles. If the lumbar muscles are not always relaxed, they will be damaged. Therefore, you should avoid lifting heavy objects after delivery and adopt the correct posture to feed your baby.
