Patient's question:
Hello, I gave birth to a child via C-section five years ago. Since the third day of birth, I have been experiencing lower back pain. Standing for a long time or bending for slightly extended periods feels as if my back is about to break. Hello, what is this condition and how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the recurring lower back pain after a cesarean section is commonly associated with conditions such as: cervicitis; pelvic inflammatory disease; lumbar muscle strain; lumbar bone hyperplasia; herniated intervertebral disc, etc. It is recommended to rest, pay attention to any abnormalities in vaginal discharge, maintain hygiene, and keep the external genital area clean and dry. Local massage or applying blood-activating and blood-stagnation-reducing ointments can help alleviate the lower back pain symptoms. It is advisable for you to visit a hospital for relevant examinations, such as ultrasound, X-ray, and gynecological exams, to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, during the treatment period for cesarean section patients, dietary condition and care are also very important. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and consume more light and nutritious foods.
