    Pelvic pain: information & tips for relief

    Under graviditeten blir kroppens leder rörligare, det är för att bäckenet behöver vidga sig under förlossningen för att släppa igenom barnet. Bäckenet blir då rörligare och du kan få ont i samband med detta, då är det vanligt att drabbas av bäckensmärta. Här går vi igenom vad bäckensmärta är och hur du kan lindra besvären.

    Bäckensmärta, eller symphyseolysis på medicinskt språk, är vanligt under graviditet och är ofarlig både för den gravida och fostret. En läkare eller fysioterapeut kan ge dig diagnosen bäckensmärta. I bäckenet finns fogar och leder som håller samman benen i bäckenet. De flesta brukar få ont över en fog som finns vid symfysen, alltså mitt på pubisbenet, och över två områden bak i korsryggen (SI-lederna).

    Hur känns bäckensmärta?

    The Hormone Network Relaxin utsöndras under graviditeten och bildas i äggstockarna samt moderkakan. Relaxin mjukar upp fogarna och gör lederna i bäckenet mer rörligt för att barnet ska kunna passera under förlossningen. Finurligt uttänkt av kroppen, men instabilitet i bäckenet kan göra otroligt ont. Ibland kan bäckensmärta göra dig begränsad i dina dagliga aktiviteter. Bäckensmärta kan vara svårt att lindra helt men du kan hjälpa till att träna musklerna kring fogar och leder för att på så sätt stabilisera bäckenet. Det bästa är att ta hjälp av en fysioterapeut och gärna någon med fördjupad kunskap i kvinnohälsa – fråga på MVC för att få rätt hjälp. Vissa fysioterapeuter kan även ge dig akupunktur i smärtlindrande syfte vilket brukar hjälpa många som får bäckensmärta när de är gravida.

    Alla gravida kan få bäckensmärta men risken ökar om du tidigare i livet haft ont i ryggen, skadat bäckenet eller lyfter tungt. Hur mycket bäckensmärta du eventuellt får beror till stor del på hur aktiv du är under dagen. Ofta får du mer smärta på kvällen om du rört på dig mycket under dagen.

    13 tips för att motverka bäckensmärta:

    - Try not to sit with your legs crossed
    - Take shorter steps than normal
    - Walk at a slow pace
    - Exercise muscles around the pelvic joints
    - Try to keep a straight posture in the lower back (do not slouch)
    - Wear comfortable shoes
    - If you sleep on your side, have a pillow between your knees so that your pelvis is not compressed
    - Pelvic girdle for miscarriages! Pelvic belts are often used to help many people with pelvic pain and can be bought from a physiotherapist
    - Take a hot shower
    - Go for a massage
    - Use a TENS unit
    - acupuncture
    - Heating pad

    Om smärtan inte försvinner efter förlossningen:

    Bäckensmärta försvinner oftast efter förlossningen, men inte för alla. Om smärtan efter förlossning kvarstår, alltså att du har bäckenbottenrelaterad smärta även efter din graviditet, är det viktigt att du söker hjälp för att ditt bäckenbotten ska läka och bli bättre. Fråga din barnmorska eller vänd dig till vården för att få rätt hjälp!
