Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What is the cause of perineal pain in the late stages of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
That should be pubic bone pain, caused by the separation of the pubic bone due to hormones. It's the body preparing for childbirth to ensure the baby can be delivered smoothly. This is a normal phenomenon and nothing to worry about. You should pay attention to getting more rest, avoid standing or sitting for long periods, and change your posture appropriately. At night, you can place a pillow-like object between your legs and use a soft cushion under your buttocks—no higher than one to two centimeters thick—to make sleeping more comfortable. It will naturally improve after childbirth.
