What reason is lumbago after pregnancy?
summary
Women will have many symptoms during pregnancy, in addition to menopause, temperature changes, breast changes, frequent urination and other symptoms, some women will also have some other symptoms. Experts said that waist acid during pregnancy may be caused by the wrong sleeping position. After a woman is pregnant, with the passage of pregnancy time, the uterus will gradually grow up, and the body center of gravity will gradually move forward, forcing the pregnant woman's shoulder to move backward accordingly, so as to ensure balance. Therefore, when a woman is pregnant, it is easy to have backache. Now I'd like to share with you what's the matter with just pregnant lumbago? Experience in this area.
What reason is lumbago after pregnancy?
We know that the lumbar spine is the hub of human body's weight-bearing and activity, and the intervertebral disc is equivalent to the joint part between adjacent vertebral bodies. It is a discoid fibrocartilage tissue, which is composed of nucleus pulposus, annulus fibrosus and cartilage endplate. It is elastic and can absorb and disperse the load of the spine. With the increase of age, the degeneration of intervertebral disc aggravates, which eventually leads to the decrease of the elasticity and anti load ability of intervertebral disc. If the pressure exerted on the intervertebral disc at this time exceeds the range that the intervertebral disc can bear, it will lead to the rupture of the annulus fibrosus, the nucleus pulposus protruding backward from the breach of the annulus fibrosus, stimulating and compressing the spinal nerve, resulting in low back and leg pain with sciatica as the main manifestation.
According to statistics, about 60% of women have low back pain during pregnancy. This is mainly because * with the needs of the mother and the fetus, the maternal body needs a large amount of nutrient reserves, and there is also retention of body fluids and the weight of the baby itself, which greatly increases the weight of the mothers and increases the lumbar load of the mother. In addition, the forward movement of the mother's body center of gravity leads to the increase of physiological lumbar lordosis and thoracic kyphosis, which also increases the weight bearing of the posterior supporting tissue and intervertebral disc; On the other hand, under the influence of hormones, pregnant women will have pelvic expansion, as well as the relaxation of the whole body ligament system, resulting in instability and displacement of the vertebral facet joints, and the relaxation of the posterior longitudinal ligament is more likely to make the intervertebral disc bulge and protrusion, leading to low back pain and lower limb radiation pain.
It is not that the lumbocrural pain during pregnancy is related to lumbar process. The cause of lumbocrural pain during pregnancy may not be single. First of all, with the increase of hormone level, the level of relaxin increases, which leads to the relaxation of the whole body ligament and the decrease of strength, especially the sacroiliac joint capsule will become loose and thinner than normal people. When the sacroiliac joint is pulled slightly, the sacroiliac joint may be separated slightly, and when it is serious, the sacroiliac joint may be separated as much as 1cm from the joint surface! These joint ligament injuries, as well as tendon insertion injuries, can cause pain. And the obvious aggravation of pelvic anteversion, pulling the muscles around the waist, will also make the lumbar nerve compression and cause low back pain.
matters needing attention
Bed rest in acute lumbar burst period, to maintain as much as possible in bed, it is recommended to choose the appropriate hardness of the mattress, in order to maintain a good curvature of the spine. The posture should make the head and neck keep natural extension, while the body keep supine, which can make the knee and hip slightly flexion. This position can relieve the compression caused by muscle contraction force and the tension of intervertebral ligaments, and make the ligaments relax and rest to the maximum extent, so that the pain symptoms will be significantly reduced or gradually disappear. For pregnant women who are difficult to supine, they can use lateral position, keep their knees and hips bent, use pillows to support the weight of the uterus, or put pillows between the knees to reduce the load-bearing of the back. Pay attention to keep warm in life, because cold is an important inducement of lumbar disc herniation. Can be appropriate in the pain area of hyperthermia and massage, promote local muscle blood circulation, relieve muscle tension.
