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. What is the meaning of "engagement"?Doctor's answer:
Engagement refers to the late stage of pregnancy when the fetus, surrounded by amniotic fluid and fetal membranes, adopts a head-down, buttocks-up, and fully curled posture, allowing its head to pass through the maternal pelvic inlet into the pelvic cavity, thereby securing its body position. When the fetus engages, many pregnant women often feel intermittent tightening and a sense of heaviness in their abdomen. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's physical health but also leads to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a leukorrhea test to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink plenty of water and maintain good personal hygiene.
