Forceps - #18635
I had a complicated delivery last year, and the doctors had to use forceps to assist in the birth. I had no idea what that meant at the time, but afterward, I experienced a lot of pain and discomfort. Even now, more than a year later, I feel pressure and occasional pain in the pelvic area. I’ve also had trouble with urinary incontinence ever since. I started researching and found out that forceps delivery can sometimes lead to long-term pelvic floor issues. I wasn’t given much information about recovery at the hospital—just told to rest. But the discomfort has never completely gone away, and I wonder if the use of forceps during childbirth caused some internal trauma that still hasn’t healed. I’ve tried doing Kegel exercises, but I’m not sure if they are helping. Are there Ayurvedic treatments that can help strengthen the pelvic muscles and heal any internal damage caused by forceps? I also read that certain herbs can help with postpartum healing—would those still work for me, even after a year? Apart from the pain, I sometimes feel a heaviness in my lower abdomen, especially when standing for too long. Could this be a sign of pelvic organ prolapse due to the forceps delivery? Are there Ayurvedic therapies or massages that can help reposition the organs and provide relief? Emotionally, this experience has been draining. I feel like my body hasn’t fully recovered, and I often get anxious about the long-term effects of forceps delivery. Can Ayurveda help with emotional balance and anxiety related to childbirth trauma? I’d really appreciate your advice on how to heal naturally and regain strength in my body after a forceps-assisted delivery.
