Background: Pregnancy increases the susceptibility to developing musculoskeletal diseases. Postpartum musculoskeletal issues are frequently observed after childbirth, causing significant discomfort and distress for women. Purpose:To identify the common musculoskeletal problems that arises among women after the event of parturition at a selected area of Bangladesh. Methods:A cross-sectional study of Dhaka hospital postpartum mothers with musculoskeletal complaints was conducted. Study sites were Enam Medical College and Super Medical Hospital. Convenience sampling yielded 112 eligible individuals. Ethics, hospital approval, and participant anonymity were crucial. Face-to-face interviews using questionnaires and VAS were used to collect data. We obtained informed consent from participants to ensure confidentiality and withdrawal. We followed WHO and Bangladesh Medical Research Council ethical guidelines to ensure research integrity. Results:The Bangladeshi postpartum women study revealed common musculoskeletal disorders and their relationships. The majority of participants, 23–27 (55%) with one or two children, reported low back pain (57.1%), pelvic girdle discomfort (67.9%), and urine incontinence (38.4%). Pelvic girdle pain, diastasis recti, and urine incontinence were linked to childbirth. greater kids mean greater pain. The OREBRO scale showed varying severity (mean score: 101.64 ± 12.56). Childbirth affected musculoskeletal complaints, as shown by OMPQ ratings and participant age. This study prepares for more interventions. Conclusion:The study proposes that these findings can serve as fundamental information for the development of management and assessment programs in the postpartum musculoskeletal population.
