Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could frequent false labor contractions mean I'm about to give birth?Doctor's answer:
Consider the possibility of Braxton Hicks contractions, which often occur after the seventh month of pregnancy. These are not true labor contractions and generally have little impact on the body when they occur occasionally. If they occur more frequently, treatments such as magnesium sulfate can be used to suppress the contractions. Pay attention to monitoring, and seek timely treatment if the fetal heartbeat is abnormal. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a check-up. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
