Patient's question:
Since giving birth to my child in July this year (a natural birth), I have started experiencing symptoms of lower back pain. I can't sleep on my back; even lying down for a short while causes pain, and I can only sleep on my side. I don't know what the reason is and haven't gone for a check-up yet. Some people say it's because I didn't rest properly during postpartum recovery or carried the baby too much, and that it's incurable. Many people have this condition—is that true?Additionally, during postpartum recovery, I couldn't sit properly either; I could only lie down slightly, or sit on one side of my buttock. It felt like my coccyx area was very painful, but it improved after that month.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on your condition, it has little to do with postpartum recovery. Local heat therapy and physiotherapy can be performed for treatment. If you actively treat the symptoms, it should be cured.1. Pay attention to sleeping on a hard bed and sleeping in a large area. Avoid favoring one side or the other.
2. Medications that promote blood circulation and invigorate qi and blood can be used to regulate and improve blood circulation and functional status.
3. Pay attention to giving functional exercises to the body according to the body's recovery condition. Go to bed early and get up early, and develop a habit naturally.
