Why does the bones hurt extremely after giving birth and during the postpartum period?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

When a woman gives birth, not only does her pelvis fully open, but all the joints in her body also open. The pelvis opens the most, making it the most noticeable. If she doesn't recover properly during the postpartum period, her muscles and bones won't return to normal, which can lead to chronic and difficult-to-treat illnesses. In the old days, wealthy families had a practice of "closing the bone seams" after childbirth, allowing the woman to retain her figure as if she were still a virgin. However, ordinary people couldn't afford such doctors, so fewer people knew about it in the. After the liberation, the technique of "closing the bone seams" didn't enter the country's formal healthcare system, and even fewer people knew about it. Forget about the postpartum recovery industry—nobody in traditional Chinese medicine bone-setting or massage professions knew much about it either.
