Patient's question:
During pregnancy, due to symphysis pubis diastasis, I was confined to bed for 30 days until delivery. Now, 10 days after giving birth, I experience pain from the buttocks to the waist and cannot sleep lying down. The pain in my thighs caused by the diastasis has not improved either. I wonder if there are any treatments available, or can I use red flower oil for topical application?Doctor's answer:
The discomfort in the pelvic cavity caused by pubic symphysis diastasis usually improves significantly within a few weeks. The following methods can help alleviate the discomfort associated with this structural change. Place a pillow between your legs when sleeping. When moving your feet and hips in bed, move them parallel or symmetrically.
