Pelvic deformation easily affects the delivery of pregnant women. The pelvis is a structure composed of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles. In fact, for pregnant women, the shape of the pelvis will also have a great impact on future delivery. Let's find out if pelvic deformation will affect the delivery of pregnant women.
Pelvic deformation easily affects the delivery of pregnant women. What factors will affect your pelvis?
1, wear high heels
Wearing high heels can make a woman's back straight, her instep arched and her legs more slender. However, ergonomics experts have found that high-heeled shoes will increase the burden on ankles and knees and easily fatigue the muscles of legs and pelvis.
Step 2 cross your legs
Many women like to cross their legs, but when crossing their legs, the pelvis and hip joint are easily sore due to long-term pressure. In the long run, the pelvis will be unconsciously skewed, and bone lesions or muscle strain may occur. Experts suggest that sedentary people should maintain a correct sitting posture, keep their waist straight, bend their knees naturally and keep their feet on the ground.
3. The mattress is too soft or too hard.
If the mattress is too soft, the body will fall when sleeping, and if the mattress is too hard, it will press the heavier pelvis of the human body, both of which will cause the pelvis to be skewed. The ideal bedding should be moderate in hardness. When we lie on our back, the body curve is completely embedded in the mattress, and the head, face, chest and pelvis provide horizontal support for the spine.
Manifestation of pelvic deformation
To know whether your pelvis has been deformed, you can test yourself in the following ways.
1, whether the body leans forward when standing, causing low back pain.
2. Sitting in a chair always rolls up your legs unconsciously.
3. Knees bend outward when walking, which makes it easy to trip.
4, accompanied by fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite and other symptoms.
5. Look in the mirror to see if the sides below the waist are asymmetrical, such as whether the thigh joints are prominent, whether the feet are too inside or outside, and whether the hips on both sides are different in size.
6. Touch it by hand to see if the lower side and the lower side of the waist are too thick and hard, and whether the waist on both sides is tandem or different in height.
7. Measure the distance from the knee to the floor. When the right side is higher than the left side, it means that the right pelvis is skewed to the upper right, and vice versa.
How to "save" your pelvis
If you want to save your pelvis, do it now. Experts suggest that if you want to keep the pelvis from deforming, you should wear less high heels; Sedentary women should maintain a correct sitting posture, straighten their backs, naturally bend their legs, and bid farewell to the days of crossing their legs; Choose a mattress with suitable hardness to keep your body comfortable. In addition, experts also reminded that it is not advisable to try to correct the pelvis by wearing tights. Although tights can correct pelvic deformation to a certain extent, wearing tights for a long time will cause the lower body to be bound for a long time and "get into" vaginitis.
At the same time, proper diet can also affect the degree of pelvic deformation to some extent. The composition of the pelvis is bones, which are tough, so the pelvis is not easy to be damaged. Therefore, it is advisable to include some foods that increase bones in the list of healthy pelvis. Calcium milk, AD calcium milk, fish, shrimp, oysters, egg yolk, walnuts and hazelnuts are all good choices. Of course, don't forget to bask in the sun more, which can promote the body's absorption of calcium.
Changes of pelvis during pregnancy and postpartum. What is pelvis?
The pelvis consists of sacrum, coccyx, left and right hip bones and their ligaments.
During pregnancy, in order to make the fetus give birth smoothly, the body will secrete hormones, which will make the pubic symphysis of pelvis relax, ligaments and muscles relax, which will help to open the suture during delivery, so whether it is caesarean section or natural delivery, the fetus has already descended to the pelvis in the third trimester and the pubic symphysis has been opened.
After childbirth, a woman's pelvis will relax, which will bring obvious changes to her body. Widening the lower pelvic opening will flatten the buttocks; Hip joint inclines inward and hips become wider; The pelvis becomes loose and the waist is severely bent; The leg below the knee is twisted and becomes a 0-shaped leg; Pelvic deformation relaxes abdominal muscles and bones.
Second, what is the pubic bone?
The pubic bone is two bones located in front of the pelvis, and there is a gap between them, not close together. The two bones are connected by ligament and fibrocartilage tissue, and this area is called pubic symphysis. When a woman gives birth, the pubic symphysis space becomes wider and the fetus can be delivered smoothly. People's understanding of pubic bone is generally related to pregnancy and childbirth.
A woman's pubic bone will open eight to ten centimeters in labor, slowly during pregnancy, and will also open when she is old.
Third, what will happen to the pelvis during pregnancy VS postpartum?
Pelvis, as its name implies, is a basin made of bones, which is composed of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles.
Therefore, the first thing to be clear is that the postpartum pelvis does not become bigger, but with the growth of the fetus during pregnancy, the muscles and ligaments connecting the pelvis become wider, and the postpartum muscles and ligaments will become slack, thus making the buttocks bigger. When the uterus recovers well without bleeding, you can do postpartum exercise and exercise properly to help the muscles and ligaments recover their elasticity. Pelvic repair is a natural physiological process, which takes time and cannot be rushed.
4. What are the hazards of postpartum pelvic deformation?
1, unbalanced ratio:
The pelvic deformation of obesity in the lower body will cause visceral prolapse, abdominal bulge, lateral development of buttocks, sagging and so on. , and then destroy the body curve.
2, postpartum hemorrhage:
Excessive relaxation will lead to dislocation, when the sharp edge of the sacrum will fall into the pelvis and scratch the cervix; If the nearby artery is cut off, there will be massive bleeding.
3, constipation, visceral ptosis, etc. ：
The pelvis supports the abdomen and has the important function of protecting the internal organs and reproductive organs. Pelvic deformation will affect the internal organs and reproductive organs in the pelvic cavity, which is easy to induce internal organs or uterine prolapse, and even severe uterine prolapse.
The pelvis is located in the middle of our human body and plays an important role in connecting the preceding with the following. If the pubic symphysis is not closed, it is easy to dislocate when it is opened. Slight dislocation can cause backache and leg pain, severe long-term dislocation, and scoliosis. Some mothers are prone to sprain their ankles a few years after delivery, all because they have not done pelvic repair, so it is urgent to do a good job of postpartum pelvic conditioning and recovery.
