Patient's question:
After the cesarean section confinement period, the area where the anesthesia was administered hurts, with back pain but not waist pain. What could be the issue? Is it related to doing laundry after the confinement period?Doctor's answer:
During a cesarean section, anesthesia is either spinal anesthesia or epidural anesthesia. During the anesthesia, there is a need for a puncture in the lower back, which can cause certain damage to the back muscles and ligaments, leading to postpartum lower back pain. Strengthening back muscle exercises after childbirth can significantly alleviate the symptoms of lower back pain. It is best to avoid sitting for long periods or bending for too long.It is recommended that to prevent postpartum lower back pain, mothers should pay attention to rest after childbirth and take care to protect their heads and backs from cold. With proper care, postpartum lower back pain can be cured within three months after delivery.
Cesarean section patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life while understanding standard medical treatment. They should also maintain a proper diet in daily life and avoid foods.
