Patient's question:
Pain in the pubic bone has been ongoing since having a childDoctor's answer:
Symphysis pubis pain may occur in the late stages of early pregnancy or after childbirth. It's important to continue physiotherapy after the baby is born and to get help with caring for the baby as much as possible in the first few weeks postpartum. Some women who have previously experienced symphysis pubis pain find that they feel pain before each menstrual period, as the hormones released before menstruation are very similar to relaxin.Recommendation: Using a pelvic support belt to stabilize the symphysis pubis can reduce displacement during movement and often quickly alleviate pelvic pain. You may need physiotherapy for your hips, back, or pelvis to correct potential movement dysfunctions. Exercise, especially for the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles, is also an important part of prevention, as its goal is to strengthen pelvic and back stability. (However, if you develop symphysis pubis diastasis, exercise can be difficult. Surgery is rarely needed for severe symphysis pubis diastasis, and it is often not very successful.)
