Hello, I want to know when menstruation comes after childbirth, and it's necessary to eat sour during the postpartum period.

Patient's question:

Hello, I want to know when menstruation comes back after childbirth. Is there any way to alleviate acid back pain during the postpartum period? Thank you

Doctor's answer:

After childbirth, the endocrine system has not yet adjusted, the pelvic ligaments remain in a relaxed state, and the abdominal muscles have become looser due to delivery. Additionally, caring for the baby often requires frequent bending, or the blockage of lochia discharge can lead to blood stasis in the pelvic cavity. Therefore, postpartum lower back pain is a common issue many mothers face. Here are a few points to pay attention to in daily life:
1. Avoid frequent bending or prolonged standing or squatting after childbirth.
2. Pay attention to adopting the correct posture when feeding the baby.
a. Feed while sitting or lying down.
b. Sit on a low stool or at the edge of the bed, placing one foot on a footrest or leaning against a chair. It’s best to place a pillow on your knee to elevate the baby, which can help reduce weight-bearing.
3. Place a support pillow on your waist while feeding.
