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. Could you please tell me how long it takes for the abdomen to harden during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, the abdomen becomes hard, which is usually a sign of false labor contractions. This is relatively common around the sixth or seventh month of pregnancy. However, in the early stages of pregnancy, as the uterus expands, you might also feel the abdomen hardening when lying flat. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a vaginal examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, it is important to drink plenty of water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
