Why does the buttocks hurt during pregnancy

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 smooth delivery of the fetus during childbirth, the ligaments connecting the pelvis also become loose. Additionally, the gradually increasing size of the uterus gradually increases the support force on the waist, leading to the relaxation of the sacrospinal ligament, which compresses the pelvic nerves and blood vessels, causing lower back and sacral pain. It is recommended to pay attention to adequate rest. When sitting, you can frequently place soft items such as pillows or cushions under your body to make yourself feel comfortable and reduce the load on the lower back and sacral region.
