Why does lower back pain occur after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
Okay, I have lower back pain. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, but they couldn't find a specific cause. Medications don't help, and other treatments like massage and traction also haven't been very effective; it still hurts. What methods are helpful for postpartum lower back pain?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Postpartum lower back pain: There are generally a few reasons for it: overexertion, poor posture, catching a cold after childbirth, spraining the waist and kidneys, or deficiency of calcium, all of which may cause postpartum lower back pain. During labor, the endocrine system has not yet been fully adjusted, the pelvic ligaments are still in a relaxed state, and the abdominal muscles have also become more relaxed due to the labor. Moreover, taking care of the baby often requires frequent bending, or if the lochia does not flow smoothly, it may lead to blood stasis in the pelvic cavity.
Don’t hurry! While taking care of the baby, make sure to rest appropriately for yourself as well! Pay special attention to changing diapers and avoid maintaining the same posture for too long!
