Scientific treatment is very important for back pain after confinement

Confinement is the best time for women to recuperate. It can not only help the body replenish sufficient nutrients, but also treat some old diseases that have been there for many years. However, low back pain is very common among women during confinement, and it will make women feel very uncomfortable. The reasons for low back pain are roughly pregnancy causing changes in the body, calcium deficiency and insufficient waist warmth. To effectively relieve the pain, women need to start activities as soon as possible after delivery, adjust the posture of the waist, and apply hot compresses, massage or soak in a hot bath. These methods have significant effects in treating low back pain during confinement. Friends in need can try it.

1. Reasons for low back pain after childbirth:

1. Pregnancy changes your body

The ligaments in the pregnant mother's waist and pelvis become loose. As the baby in the belly grows bigger day by day, the pregnant mother's waist extensor muscles need to provide more and more support to hold the uterus. Over time, the spine will become deformed and the lumbar muscles will easily become strained, causing back pain. Moreover, if the weight is not controlled well during pregnancy, whether it is the baby's weight or the mother's weight, it will increase the burden on the lumbar spine, and the waist will be more likely to be "overworked".

2. Calcium deficiency

New mothers are weak after giving birth, and if they insist on breastfeeding, their calcium loss will be even greater than during pregnancy. Calcium deficiency can easily cause osteoporosis and lead to low back pain. In fact, calcium supplementation is especially important for women. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the baby will absorb a lot of calcium from the mother. If the mother does not supplement it, she herself will easily suffer from calcium deficiency. At that time, I deliberately supplemented myself with high-calcium foods, especially dairy products, and often basked in the sun to promote vitamin D absorption. After the breastfeeding period, insist on drinking milk every day. Calcium supplementation is a long-term accumulation process and it is a "savings" for bone health.

3. The waist is not warm enough

New mothers are weak after giving birth, and their waist and abdomen are particularly sensitive to cold. If they do not pay attention to keeping warm, they will suffer from back pain over time.

2. Treatment recommendations:

1. Start activities as soon as possible after delivery. If the physical condition of mothers who have delivered naturally allows, start activities as early as possible within 24 hours and do simple exercises, such as clenching fists, moving wrists, and chest expansion exercises while lying in bed. Choose an exercise method that you can accept. Mothers who delivered by caesarean section still need to rest in bed for the first few days after delivery. They can just do some simple exercises like clenching their fists, and then do more vigorous exercises later.

2. Adjust your waist posture. Incorrect breastfeeding posture will bring extra burden to the waist muscles. A comfortable chair can effectively adjust the posture. It is recommended to choose a chair with lumbar support or place a small pillow under the waist when breastfeeding, which can provide good support for the waist.

3. If you experience waist and back pain after delivery, you can use hot compresses, massage or hot baths to treat and relieve it. This method can promote blood circulation, relax muscles and relieve pain and fatigue. In addition, you should also pay attention to proper rest and avoid strenuous labor. But if it persists, you can find a professional postpartum recovery center for conditioning. I believe that after a few months of conditioning, your physical condition will slowly recover and the back pain problem will be alleviated.
