Question : I just had my baby 2 months ago. Natual delivery.
When I urinate, I can feel some pressure but no burning sensation and odor. I have checked for UTI and the result was negative. In this couple of days, I have had a little bit of chest pain/muscle pain. Also, my belly feel a little tender. Thank you.

Supportive care

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Slight chest pain, muscle pain, painful abdomen after baby birth 2 months ago with normal urine analysis is nothing to worry about. Its a common sequelae of post partum symptoms and need supportive care. Just take some advil or mefenamic acid, some rest, skelaxin for spasm of muscles and drink plenty of fluids and use peppermint with yogurt. Se eif it helps, I am sure these supportive measures will help.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
