Pelvic repair is a very popular project in major beauty institutions, and it is a problem that mothers cannot avoid after childbirth.
"The pelvis is not repaired, the woman is ten years old!"
"Pelvic repair is a woman's second youth"
"The pelvis opens, and gynecological diseases come naturally!" The pelvis is closed, and you are in good shape!"
It's tempting for moms who are worried about postpartum repairs, but can the propaganda be trusted?
To figure this out, we first need to understand what changes the pelvis can make when the baby is born.
After giving birth to a baby
What happens to the pelvis?
After giving birth to a baby, the pelvis is of course wider!
In order for the baby to grow and mature, and then smoothly enter the new world, the mother's pelvis must "broaden the road":
Preconception female pelvic bone
We can see that there is also a gap in the pubic joint of women before pregnancy, which is about 4mm to 6mm, which is not enough for the baby to be born.
After pregnancy, the secreted relaxins in the body come into play, and they make the ligaments at the pubic joint become loose.
In this way, the "road" can be widened by 2mm to 3mm, enough for the baby to be born.
Pelvic bone in postpartum women
But as the pubic joint widens, the buttocks naturally become wider and larger, and when mothers are anxious about this, cunning merchants take advantage of the situation and recommend their "pelvic repair" projects for these problems.
"Pelvic Repair" project in beauty salons
Is it necessary?
The most recommended for the "pelvic repair" project is usually a beauty salon, confinement center, postpartum repair center and other places, which you rarely hear about in regular hospitals.
Because it really doesn't have to!
I don't know if you found it, when the merchant is promoted, it will play a "golden period" statement, the time ranges from 42 days after childbirth to 6 months after childbirth, why?

Because beyond this time, the pelvis will recover on its own.
The widening of the pubic joint will generally return to its original state within 3 to 8 months after childbirth, and there is no need to take special measures to promote the growth of seedlings.
There are also some worse businesses, in order to enhance the effectiveness of their projects, deliberately confuse pelvic dilation with the symptoms of pubic joint separation and pelvic floor muscle relaxation, causing unnecessary anxiety to postpartum mothers:

If it is really as the merchant said, severe pain, and even affect walking, it belongs to the pubic joint separation.
This is a special case of the pubic joint widening of more than 10 mm, a disease with an incidence of no more than 1%, requiring medical treatment and, if necessary, injecting medication to relieve pain.
The vaginal laxity, puffing, leakage of urine, sexual dysfunction, etc. that occur after childbirth are caused by the relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles, and have nothing to do with pelvic dilation.
Most mothers will get better through lifestyle interventions (such as weight loss, weight loss, treatment of constipation and cough to reduce intra-abdominal pressure, etc.) and pelvic floor muscle exercises (such as Kegel exercises), and a few need to go to the hospital for evaluation.
In other words, it is useless to find a beauty salon that can recover on its own, and it is useless to find a beauty salon that cannot recover by yourself!
All kinds of unreliable
"Pelvic Repair" Dafa
In the face of postpartum repair problems, most postpartum mothers are difficult to come up with enough time and energy, so the business has launched these seemingly easy and comfortable services:
External application of pelvic bone repair
Some beauty salons will bring a jar of hot mud, apply it to the pelvic area like a mask, and then tell you:
This is mud moxibustion, and when it is done, the wet and cold qi in the body will be discharged, and the pelvis will naturally recover.

Similarly, there are also "special" pelvic potions and powders.
It is really confusing, these things applied to the surface of the skin, at most can act on the epidermis, how can it go deep into the pelvic area?
Just applying some mud and powder can make the pubic bone joint close, which is nonsense.
Closed pelvic bone with bare hands
One of the most common types of pelvic closure, the core is the "vigorous miracle".
Treat everyone, regardless of the situation, it is all such a set of techniques: indiscriminate and hard!
Image source: Network
From the pictures, I really can't see any technical content.
Not only is this kind of compression useless, but improper manipulation may also cause muscle or ligament damage, and even press your normal pubic bone joint into the wrong position.
Instrument pelvic bone repair
Although this operation sounds a little tall, the principle is still the same, but it has changed from bare hands to operation through the hip and pelvic bone instrument.

Unexpectedly, the "repair principle" of the instrument is also "squeezed".
From unarmed to instrument operation, the increase is not the scientific and technological content, and the charging standard, right?
Image source: Network
And the force of the instrument 'squeeze' is greater and stiffer than that of the bare hand, and the bare hand presses you out of the misalignment at most, and the violent squeezing of the instrument can really lead to fractures.
What's even more ridiculous is that most of these so-called professionals don't even know where the pubic bone is, and they even give themselves the title of "senior restorer" and preach "knowledge" on various platforms:

Their identities can't be further investigated, maybe they were learned from online crash courses:
Postnatal rehabilitation course schedule at an institution
The 4-day course costs up to 10,000 yuan, guess what, such an expensive price, who will pay the bill in the end?
See here everyone has a number in mind, right? This "pelvic repair" project is a profitable scam at all!
And many people spend a lot of money, but they think that there is really an effect, in fact, the pelvis has recovered itself;
It's like "the rooster crows, the sun rises," not causal, but juxtaposed.
How to scientific postpartum repair?
Postpartum repair is not something that can be rushed. Lilac mother invited obstetricians and gynecologists to prepare a scientific postpartum repair guide for everyone, including:
Postpartum weight loss
