How to care for post-caesarean section lower back pain?

Patient's question:

This is my first pregnancy, and both the doctor and my family recommended a C-section. After giving birth, I have been taking good care of myself. However, three months later, my lower back still hurts frequently, and every time it does, my husband has to give me a massage. I would like to ask the doctor how to better care for lower back pain after a C-section.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it's important to rest more during your daily routine, but also engage in appropriate walking. Avoid staying up late and try to take naps before 11 PM. Pay attention to local warmth protection to prevent catching a cold. Gentle massage and cold compresses can be helpful. Be mindful not to stand or sit for long periods. In addition to avoiding heavy physical exertion, try to minimize bending. Taking calcium supplements orally in moderation may gradually help stabilize your condition.
In addition to treating the cesarean section, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
