Patient's question:
I was born naturally, but during labor, I received an epidural for pain relief. However, more than half a month has passed since giving birth, and my lower back is still in pain. I would like to know how long it usually takes for lower back pain to subside after an epidural during childbirth?Doctor's answer:
Generally, after painless childbirth, the condition of lower back pain is usually relieved within about a month. However, if rest is not properly managed, or if an infection occurs postpartum, it may lead to conditions such as pelvic inflammation, which can exacerbate lower back pain. If, after a month, the pain remains severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly for a follow-up visit. It is recommended that you pay attention to getting adequate rest and ensure sufficient deep sleep. Relax your mind.
