Pregnancy will affect the lumbar spine, mainly due to the following reasons:
1. After pregnancy, with the growth of the fetus, you can see As her belly gets bigger and bigger, in fact, it gets bigger and bigger, which means that the burden in front of her is getting bigger and bigger. As the fetus grows, the load on the abdomen increases, and her lordosis sometimes increases.
2. Hormones in the body will change accordingly during pregnancy. The stable structures of soft tissues such as ligaments in the waist are loosened again. At the same time, as the load increases, the stable structures of the muscles and ligaments in the lower back are damaged, so low back pain often occurs. This is also a common cause of low back pain after a cesarean section.
If the patient has lumbar disc herniation before pregnancy, in this case, the lumbar disc herniation may be aggravated with the pregnancy process, and the low back pain will also increase.
Therefore, it is possible to perform lumbar stabilization strength exercises during pregnancy, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of low back pain. Of course, it is necessary to exercise under the premise of ensuring the safety of pregnancy and production.
