How long does it take to recover from pubic separation? Why does pubic pain occur?

Giving birth is like a major surgery. During the process, many people choose natural birth. Natural birth requires dilation of the cervix and the expansion of the body's muscles to ensure that it can pass through the birth canal normally. There will be postpartum pubic pain within a short period of time after giving birth. This is mainly due to excessive force, or the body's hormones have not returned to normal, resulting in ligament relaxation, and severe bone cracks. This pain may occur. Generally, the recovery time of pubic separation may be within six months after delivery. Some people are weak and it may take one or two years to recover. Therefore, you must exercise actively, do a good job of follow-up, and correct it through surgery when necessary.

What causes pubic pain after childbirth?

1. The pubic bone is divided into two parts, forming the pubic symphysis area. During pregnancy, the pubic symphysis cartilage and ligaments become loose. During delivery, there will be a slight separation at the pubic symphysis, which is the prerequisite for postpartum pubic pain.

2. After delivery, as the progesterone secretion in mothers' bodies returns to normal, the relaxed ligaments and cartilage will also return to normal. However, a small number of mothers experience excessive progesterone secretion, which causes excessive relaxation of the ligaments, resulting in more severe separation of the pubic symphysis, slower postpartum healing, and postpartum pubic pain.

3. In addition, a variety of factors such as prolonged labor, excessively large fetus, improper force during delivery, incorrect posture, and cold waist and lumbar spine can cause imbalance in pelvic contraction force during and after delivery, leading to slight dislocation of the sacroiliac joint, which can prevent the pubic symphysis from returning to its normal position and cause postpartum pubic pain.

How long does it take to recover from postpartum pubic pain?

Due to postpartum sacroiliac joint dislocation caused by childbirth, the pubic symphysis surface cannot return to its normal position. It can be recovered after a period of rest and recuperation. The recovery time varies from person to person. Some people can recover right after the confinement period, while others take a longer time, sometimes 1-2 years to recover. If mothers have not recovered after a long time, it is best to go to the hospital to take an X-ray and then receive treatment accordingly.

Does postpartum pubic pain need treatment?

1. A big reason for pubic pain is that mothers exert too much force during childbirth, damaging the pubic bone and the surrounding ligaments. Generally speaking, postpartum pubic pain will heal naturally and does not require special treatment.

2. However, there is currently no immediate relief method for postpartum pubic pain. Some details in life can solve the problem of how postpartum mothers can care for pubic pain.

3. If pubic symphysis separation is caused by incorrect posture during delivery, resulting in pubic pain, it can be improved through Chinese medicine massage techniques.

4. If the pubic bone has not recovered for a period of time after delivery and the pain is unbearable, you should seek medical attention in time. This is the most important detail in how new mothers care for pubic pain after delivery. Under normal circumstances, pubic pain occurs during pregnancy and disappears within one month after delivery as the body recovers; pubic pain that occurs after delivery will not last more than three months. Therefore, if mothers' pubic pain persists for more than 3 months, or if they feel the pain is getting worse, they should seek medical help in time.
