Patient's question:
First child delivery caused severe lower back pain. After delivery, riding a motorcycle for 1 hour required assistance. Second child delivery was not painful, but excessive force during delivery led to 4 stitches. Riding a motorcycle for 1 hour no longer requires assistance, but I often experience lower back pain. Standing for long periods while washing dishes causes lower back pain. Sitting for too long also causes lower back pain. Occasionally, I feel dizzy when getting up from a squat. Should I see a doctor? The older son is 33 months old, and the younger son is 13 months old.Doctor's answer:
This situation is generally caused by factors such as lumbar disc herniation, lumbar muscle strain, ligamentitis, etc., and is related to early pregnancy. The main reasons are the special posture during early pregnancy, as well as increased abdominal pressure, which leads to posterior protrusion of the lumbar intervertebral disc or changes in the physiological curvature of the lumbar spine. Non-pharmacological treatments can be ineffective, and long-term persistence is required. It is recommended to undergo comprehensive evaluation measures such as acupuncture, physical therapy, and massage. These treatments can be very effective, providing short-term relief of symptoms.
