After the baby's life, all kinds of brainwashing postpartum repair advertisements appeared around the mothers.
The confinement center is promoting, the beauty salon is promoting, and the micro-business is also publicizing.
Pelvic repair is one of the most popular projects.
Business promotion: do a good job of pelvic repair, mother buttocks become peach buttocks!
Do not do pelvic repair, be careful of uterine cold, gynecological inflammation, vaginal laxity to find the door!
If you don't do pelvic repair, you will have a bloated waist, a wider hip, and a sore back!
But is pelvic repair really so magically advertised? The answer is: not necessarily!
A while ago, @ Southern Metropolis Daily reported a news, a 25-year-old mother in Guangzhou, Ms. Dai, after giving birth to her second child, she spent 38,000 yuan to stay in a confinement center.
During confinement, because of low back pain, Ms. Dai purchased a package for postpartum rehabilitation, which included pelvic repair.
After that, the confinement club invited a postpartum rehabilitation specialist to give Ms. Dai pelvic repair and orthopedic bone compression, during which she massaged her bare hands for 20 minutes.
But after doing it, Ms. Dai's low back pain was not relieved, but the waist pain and pelvic pain became worse and worse, and slowly the waist could not stand up straight, and the lower limbs were weak and could not walk, and could only lie on the bed.
I wanted to relieve low back pain through pelvic repair, but who knew that the relief would not work, but I was guilty.
After the news was exposed, doctors issued a reminder: the so-called "pelvic relaxation" will generally recover naturally after childbirth as the physiological hormones related to pregnancy gradually decline.
It is not advisable to do repair by squeezing bones, tying bandages, machine compressions, etc., strictly speaking, there is no "pelvic repair" in medical treatment!
"After a pelvic repair, I was so sore that I fell to my knees to change diapers!"
Because of the publicity of the merchants, the sensitive psychology of the mother after childbirth is firmly grasped, the mother's buttocks, gynecological diseases, and aging...
Therefore, for pelvic repair, many mothers are very easy to fall into the pit.
But pelvic repair is not only useless, but improper manipulation can also lead to muscle or ligament damage, causing great pain to mothers, and such examples are often reported.
July 2020
Ms. Wen, a 30-year-old postpartum mother in Shanghai, spent 34,000 yuan on three pelvic repairs, but was found to have lumbar vertebral bone hyperplasia and disc herniation deformity, which made her suffer.
During the repair period, it was done by a man, and the other party said that the woman's strength was not enough, so during the three repairs, it was operated by a man, and each push and squeeze was full for two hours.
December 2019
Ms. Huang, a postpartum mother in Foshan, experienced pelvic closure at the confinement center, and at that time, she saw it in the circle of friends of nurses in the confinement center, which advertised that a pelvic closure could be shrunk by 2-8 cm, and the refund was invalid.
But just after the massage, Ms. Huang's pain did not decrease but increased, and when she went to the hospital to diagnose fasciitis, it made her feel so bedridden that she had to kneel on the ground to change diapers.
March 2022
Ms. Li of Huainan, Anhui Province, went to the beauty salon because of postpartum low back pain, and the other party said that she had serious pelvic problems and needed to be repaired.
After two months of pelvic repair, Ms. Li's low back pain was not alleviated, but the pain intensified and she was difficult to sit and lie down, and her walking and standing were affected.
The pelvic repair advertisement on the market is simply a "life-saving herb" for postpartum mothers.
But the above case tells us: wrong pelvic repair is not only useless but also injured!
Pelvic repair that is blown into the sky is rarely heard in regular hospitals!
Because it really doesn't have to!
Why so many mothers will choose to do pelvic repair, mostly because the crotch has become wider after childbirth, the ass has become larger, and they want to improve it through pelvic repair.
But the widening of the pelvis after childbirth is completely normal, and this normal change will improve over time without human intervention.
Let's first understand why the crotch becomes wider and the ass becomes larger after childbirth.
After experiencing pregnancy and childbirth, the pelvis of mothers is bound to become wider.
In order for the baby to be born smoothly, the mother's pelvis must widen the road:
Before pregnancy, there is a gap in the pubic joint part of the female, this gap is about 4mm-6mm, and the two bones are connected by ligaments, which is not enough for the baby to be born.
After pregnancy, under the action of hormones, the ligaments will become loose, and the gaps will increase by 2mm-3mm on the basis of the original, so that the baby can be delivered smoothly, so after giving birth to the baby, the mother's crotch will become slightly wider than before.
However, mothers do not have to worry about this, because the pubic joint widening will generally gradually return to its original state within 6 months after giving birth, and there is no need to take special measures to intervene.
This is also why businesses will advertise: the second half of the year after childbirth is the golden critical period of pelvis reduction, because about half a year after childbirth, the pubic bone joint can be restored to its original state by widening itself.
During this recovery period, if you blindly press, the bare hands are likely to cause misalignment, muscle strain, and violent squeezing of the instrument, which may lead to fractures.
The following are the pelvic repair methods of postpartum mothers, don't believe it!
First of all, remind mothers: postpartum body problems to repair, must go to the regular hospital, this year's 315 has been exposed to a lot of illegal luggage in the body center.
Don't be thought of as a guinea pig.
In the postpartum period, minor problems do not require going to the body center, and serious body centers are useless.
The following common pelvic repair methods, do not believe:
Closed with bare hands
The bare hand is to press hard, no matter who it is, no matter what the situation, a direct set of techniques, as shown in the figure.
Such brute force is likely to cause damage to muscles and ligaments.
Instrument pelvic closure
The instrument sounds more powerful, but it has only changed from using the hand to the hip bone meter and pelvic bone meter operation, and the principle is also squeezed.
The instrument is more difficult to control than the freehand operation, the force is greater, not only easy to cause damage, but also may put your normal pubic bone joint in the wrong position, more serious, can also lead to fractures.
Apply hot compresses and apply medicines
This method of not pushing and shoving, will it be safer and more effective? Of course not!
What acts on the skin, mostly on the epidermis, how can it act on the pelvic area, so that the pubic bone joint is closed... Isn't that funny!
What's even more frightening is that the professionals who call themselves senior restorers are likely to have only learned from online crash courses.
So moms, postpartum repair is indeed very important, but be sure to go to the right place to find the right person, physical problems must be looking for a professional doctor!
Pelvic repair, only this type of mother needs to do!
Most mothers do not need to do pelvic repair on the market.
After pregnancy and childbirth, the mother's pelvis does undergo some changes, because the pubic joint area becomes wider, and the mother's crotch will become slightly wider than before.
This change generally gradually recovers around 6 months after childbirth, and is restored to the same state as before childbirth with appropriate exercise.
Mothers just need to remember that minor pubic joint separation does not require human intervention, and those who need to intervene must also go to the hospital and be treated under the guidance of a professional doctor, which is not something that can be solved by finding a technician and pressing it twice.
If the pubic joint dissociation is severe, such as:
The pubic joint separation exceeds 10 mm, affecting walking, and the pain in the lower back and groin area is aggravated.
Pain in the pubic joint or sacral joint is unbearable, worsening during movement and turning over, affecting normal activity.
In the event of these two serious situations, go directly to the orthopedic department of a regular hospital for examination and treatment, and do not blindly believe in the pelvic repair projects on the market.
Pay attention to the rehabilitation examination for 42 days after childbirth, the doctor will evaluate the separation situation and give the correct treatment!
I hope that every mother can do a good job of postpartum rehabilitation correctly and safely without taking a detour!
