Patient's question:
My sister felt particularly painful in the symphysis pubis when she was pregnant. In the late stages of pregnancy, getting out of bed and sitting up were especially painful. Now, four or five months after the cesarean section, the separation of the symphysis pubis has not healed. Walking, stepping, holding the baby—all can cause intense pain and discomfort, making it difficult to walk smoothly.Doctor's answer:
The pubic symphysis diastasis is formed during pregnancy and is unrelated to cesarean delivery.Advice: Currently, you can apply warm compresses. If necessary, an X-ray should be performed to check the extent of the joint separation. If it's not severe, symptoms may be relieved after treatment. If your hospital has a pain specialty clinic, you can visit there for acupuncture or closed treatment.
The occurrence of pubic symphysis diastasis not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it's best to have a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. You should also drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
