Patient's question:
Problem Description: Pubic diastasis after childbirth, how to treat it? Can simple household chores be done?Doctor's answer:
If there was a separation of the pubic symphysis before pregnancy, it would be more noticeable after giving birth. The pubic symphysis separation is the separation of the bone connection due to external factors during childbirth. Most pregnant women experience pubic symphysis separation because the pelvic cavity relaxes during pregnancy, causing joints and bones to separate, usually occurring in the later stages of pregnancy. The pubic symphysis separation typically heals gradually, so correction is not necessarily required. If it is severe, the following treatment methods can be adopted:1) Medication: Pain relievers.
2) Physical therapy: Heat application.
3) Pain treatment: Oral medication or injections can be administered, and postpartum exercises can be performed.
Generally, it usually recovers within one to two weeks postpartum.
