Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why does pregnancy cause buttock pain?Doctor's answer:
After pregnancy, the body undergoes changes. To ensure the baby can be delivered smoothly during childbirth, the ligaments connecting the pelvis also become loose. Additionally, the gradually enlarging uterus increases the support pressure on the waist, leading to the relaxation of the sacrospinal ligament, which compresses pelvic nerves and blood vessels, causing lower back and sacral pain. It is recommended to get adequate rest and, when sitting, frequently place soft items like pillows or cushions under your body to make yourself feel comfortable and reduce the load on your lower back and sacral area.
