Patient's question:
I am 27 years old. In the past few days, I have noticed brown discharge from my lower body and I don't know what it could be. I suspect I might be pregnant. Please advise: What should I do if I have lower side waist pain at 9 weeks and 3 days of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
You are 9 weeks and 3 days pregnant, experiencing muscle pain from your left waist to your thigh. It is likely that the pain is caused by lumbar inflammation affecting the sciatic nerve, or it could be piriformis syndrome. It is recommended to visit the orthopedics department for a check-up. However, since you are pregnant, general reflex tests and medication can affect the baby. It is advised to temporarily use physical therapy, such as traction or cold compress.
