Patient's question:
I got pregnant for two months, and my buttocks always felt numb when sleeping, without any sensation. Even changing sleeping positions didn't help; when I slept on my left side, my left buttock would go numb, and when I slept on my right side, my right buttock would go numb. When I lay flat, both sides of my buttocks would feel numb.Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, as the fetus grows, the ligaments of the lumbar-sacral and pelvic joints in the pregnant woman become loose. At the same time, the weight of the uterus also increases with the gestational age, causing the center of gravity of the body to shift forward. To maintain balance, the waist tends to bend forward. If rest is not paid attention to, it can easily lead to lower back pain.Recommendations: In the early stages of pregnancy, fetal growth and development require sufficient nutrients such as calcium and phosphorus. If the intake in the diet is insufficient, it can lead to softening and demineralization of the pregnant woman's bones, which may also cause lower back pain. Excessive bleeding during the postpartum period, or overexertion and exposure to cold, can also trigger lower back pain.
