Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. How can I relieve pubic bone pain?Doctor's answer:
The nomination rate for "pubic bone pain" is not the highest, but among the top pains, 50% of expectant mothers list it as the "most painful" first. During the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, many expectant mothers experience inexplicable pain in their pubic bone, accompanied by a pulling sensation. This pain becomes more pronounced when standing, walking, or going up and down stairs. At times, it may also be felt when turning over in bed or getting up and sitting down. The occurrence of this phenomenon is mainly due to the fact that, during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, the size of the fetus increases, the uterus expands accordingly, and the pubic symphysis gap widens due to corresponding physiological changes compared to pre-pregnancy. After the delivery of the baby, the widened gap between the pubic symphysis gradually returns to its original position. This pain caused by pubic symphysis diastasis is generally bearable. If the pubic symphysis is significantly misaligned, it may lead to ligament strain, swelling, and difficulty in movement, at which point the expectant mother may need to rest in bed. Is that correct?Advice: The nomination rate for "pubic bone pain" is not the highest, but among the top pains, 50% of expectant mothers list it as the "most painful" first.
