Women who have given birth are weaker and are at high risk of developing this condition if they are deficient in calcium or exposed to wind at this time. We cannot rule out the possibility of muscle strain due to overexertion and prolonged bending over to hold the baby.
It is advisable to take rest, not to bend over for long periods of time to hold the child, to avoid strain and exposure to cold and damp, and to apply hot physiotherapy.
