Patient's question:
At 33 weeks of pregnancy, I suddenly had difficulty walking. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was symphysis pubis diastasis. After the examination, I didn't feel any discomfort the next day.On the first day of 38 weeks of pregnancy, the symphysis pubis diastasis suddenly worsened at night. Turning over caused significant pain, and I needed someone to help me walk. The next night, I could walk freely, although turning over was still very painful.
Currently, sitting, walking, and turning over all cause pain, but it is manageable.
Doctor's answer:
Deliberate vaginal delivery. Delivery may worsen symphysis pubis diastasis. However, it will recover postpartum, just requiring some time. The occurrence of symphysis pubis diastasis not only affects women's lives but also leads to the emergence of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain the cleanliness of the perineal skin in daily life.
