How to relieve lower back pain after sexual intercourse

After sexual intercourse, lower back pain can be relieved through methods such as hot compress, massage, posture adjustment, moderate rest, and traditional Chinese medicine conditioning. Lower back pain may be related to factors such as muscle fatigue, insufficient kidney qi, and lumbar problems.

1. Hot compress

Use a hot towel or hot water bag to apply to the waist, with a temperature controlled at 40-50 degrees Celsius, for 15-20 minutes each time. Hot compress helps promote local blood circulation, relieve muscle tension and spasms. Be careful not to burn the skin. After applying hot compress, gentle massage can be used to enhance the effect. If the skin is damaged or inflamed, it is not advisable to apply hot compress.

2. Massage

Take acupoints such as Shenshu and Mingmen on the waist, and rub them clockwise with the palm root for 5-10 minutes, with the appropriate intensity for a sour and swollen feeling. Massage can unblock meridians, qi and blood, and improve lumbar muscle strain. Can be used in conjunction with active oil or mugwort essential oil to enhance the effect. Patients with acute sprains or lumbar disc herniation should avoid applying excessive pressure.

3. Adjust posture

Avoid maintaining a single posture for a long time, and use a soft pillow at the waist to reduce pressure during intercourse. Pay attention to sitting upright in daily life, sleep on a hard bed, and adopt a side lying and bent position. It is recommended to practice the "Two Hand Climbing Foot Strengthening Kidney and Waist" movement in the Eight Section Brocade, with 3 groups per day, 8-12 times per group.

4. Moderate Rest

During the attack period, one should rest in bed for 1-2 days and avoid lifting heavy objects and vigorous exercise. After recovery, low-intensity exercises such as swimming and slow walking can be performed. Ensure 7-8 hours of sleep per day, soak your feet in mugwort leaves for 20 minutes before bedtime to help relax. Long term lower back pain patients need to reduce their frequency of sexual activity.

5. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

For kidney deficiency type, Jin Kui Shen Qi Wan or You Gui Wan can be taken, and for blood stasis type, blood activating and pain relieving capsules are suitable. Recommended dietary therapy for Du Zhong Pig Waist Soup: Take 15 grams of Du Zhong, 30 grams of walnut kernels, and 1 pair of pig waist and stew them 2-3 times a week. Moxibustion at acupoints such as Guan Yuan and Yao Yang Guan, 3-5 times per session, once every other day.

It is recommended to avoid prolonged sitting and standing in daily life, pay attention to keeping the waist warm, and wear a waist belt for auxiliary support. Eat more kidney tonifying ingredients such as black beans, goji berries, mulberries, etc., and avoid raw, cold, and spicy foods. If the pain lasts for more than 3 days or is accompanied by symptoms such as numbness in the lower limbs and abnormal urination, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly to check for diseases such as lumbar disc herniation and urinary system infections. It is recommended to undergo a spinal health examination once a year, and people over 40 years old can regularly take Liuwei Dihuang Pills to regulate kidney qi.
