Abstract:
Background- Breastfeeding is among of the most ideal and effective mean to ensure child health and survival. Breast milk is an ideal food for neonates. To accrue the maximum benefits, the breastfeeding must be exclusive initiated within half an hour of birth and continued through first six months after birth. Along with the maternal and infant benefits of breastfeeding, a few harmful implications like musculoskeletal pain, breast engorgement, breast soreness and other maternal discomfort may occur. One of the major factors of musculoskeletal pain due to breastfeeding is the adaptation of poor body posture or in appropriate position during breastfeeding. Neck pain related to posture is usually due to inappropriate postures, awkward postures and repetition of task which leads to stress on musculoskeletal tissues and the underlying muscles. Prolong inappropriate postures can result into muscle stress and deformity of normal soft tissues. Method- In this observational study, 73 participants (age- 28.03 ± 2.03) suffering from mechanical neck discomfort were included. Their neck discomfort was evaluated using the Numerical pain rating Scale (5.96±1.56). To gauge the intensity of neck pain complaints, participants were given the Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire. Result- Our research revealed that the prevalence of mechanical neck pain in postpartum women was 58.90% (43 participants) had moderate pain, 30.13% (22 participants) had severe pain and remaining 10.95% had mild pain on assessing through NPRS. The Questionnaire states that maximal pain is indicated by scores greater than 50% and minor pain is indicated by scores less than 50%. Of the 73 participants, 49 had scores above 50%, while 24 received scores below 50%. Conclusion- This study conducted among postpartum multipara women undergone lower segment caesarean section of age between 25 to 45 years in and around Kolhapur region reveals, that there is moderate prevalence of mechanical neck pain in postpartum women. BFRNP leaves major impact on maternal health and also jeopardizes the health of children, so in order to address this issue, it's important to raise awareness of appropriate and proper breastfeeding positions for effective breastfeeding
