Have you ever heard of it?
The waist of postpartum mothers
Nine times out of ten it hurts
In fact, there are many factors that cause postpartum low back pain
See if you have any of the following situations
Pelvic relaxation
Symptoms of pelvic laxity:
1. Straighten your legs and find that the length of your left and right feet is different
2, the same pair of shoes, the sole wear is uneven
3. The left and right shoulder heights are different
4. The shoulders, neck and back are particularly stiff
5. Urinary leakage when coughing and sneezing
6. There is a feeling of falling in the abdomen
Pelvic laxity is prone to visceral, uterine sagging, and in severe cases, uterine prolapse. And due to production reasons, not only the pelvis, but also the muscles will become loose, prone to urinary incontinence. Severe pelvic laxity can also easily cause postpartum haemorrhage.
When women are about to give birth, they secrete a large amount of progesterone and relaxin.
These substances can relax the pelvic ligaments, loosen the pubic joint, and can expand the cervical opening and vagina, so that the baby can be born smoothly.
When the pelvis is in a relaxed state, the mother's cervical spine needs to be under great pressure, which leads to the appearance of postpartum low back pain.
weight
Why is there postpartum low back pain?
Because the baby grows in the womb, many mothers gain weight faster during pregnancy. In order to maintain the balance of the body, the pregnant mother's long-term body recline increases the burden on the lumbar spine, resulting in the appearance of low back pain.
Postpartum mothers are relatively weak, need to lie in bed often, lack of activity in the waist, and because of pregnancy leads to their own weight gain, more meat in the waist, but also increase the burden on the waist, causing low back pain.
Rectus abdominis separation
The chance of rectus abdominis detachment due to vaginal delivery is as high as 60%, and postpartum rectus abdominis is usually the result of abdominal wall conditions, hyperpartum and pregnancy-induced uterine enlargement, and a combination of conditions.
The condition of the abdominal wall is different in each individual, with different strengths of the rectus abdominis muscles, as well as the width and intensity of the abdominal white line in the center of the anterior abdominal wall. Women with relatively weak rectus abdominis, low strength of the abdominal white line, and large width of the abdominal white line are relatively more likely to produce rectus abdominis detachment.
In prolific women, repeated stretching of the abdominal wall tends to lead to weak abdominal wall relaxation. Multiple pregnancies, excessive fetuses, excessive amniotic fluid, etc. that cause the uterus to be too large during pregnancy can lead to excessive dilation of the abdominal wall.
After the rectus abdominis muscles are separated, the supporting force of the lower back will be reduced, so it will cause low back pain.
