Obstetric damage to pelvic joints and ligaments - what does this mean

Obstetric damage to pelvic joints and ligaments occurs when the ligaments and joints of the pelvis are stretched and torn during childbirth, resulting in pain, instability, and reduced range of motion.

What happens during the disease - obstetric damage to pelvic joints and ligaments

Obstetric damage to pelvic joints and ligaments is caused by the strain placed on the pelvic area during childbirth. this strain can cause the pelvic joints to become misaligned, resulting in a weakened connection between the pelvic ligaments and the bones of the pelvis. this can lead to instability and pain, as well as a decreased range of motion in the pelvis. in some cases, the damage can be severe enough to require surgery to repair the affected joints and ligaments.
