Patient's question:
I am currently pregnant, and I pay close attention to my body every day. However, recently I have been experiencing a sensation of my abdomen constantly feeling heavy or dropping. What could be the cause? Hello, I often have a dull ache in my lower abdomen. Am I about to have a miscarriage? I am feeling very upset.Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, I often experience lower abdominal heaviness and pain. It is generally considered that the pain may be caused by false labor contractions. Rest and carefully observe whether the symptoms improve. If the pain persists, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up. For longer-lasting pain, it is also important to rule out the possibility of pelvic inflammatory disease causing the pain.During pregnancy, regular prenatal check-ups are necessary. Around the fifth month of pregnancy, a 4D ultrasound can be performed to rule out the possibility of fetal malformations.
