Can “sitting the month” (postpartum confinement) cure lumbar disc herniation?

Postpartum confinement (“sitting the month”) cannot cure lumbar disc herniation. It is recommended that you visit a reputable hospital for proper evaluation—such as X-ray imaging or abdominal CT scanning—to confirm the diagnosis. In daily life, ensure adequate rest. Complementary treatments may include traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) modalities such as acupuncture, warm-needle acupuncture, bloodletting combined with cupping, or acupoint injection. Pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm and avoid prolonged sitting or walking. “Walking backward” may be considered as a therapeutic exercise to strengthen the lumbar musculature and fascia, thereby enhancing flexibility and functional support.
