What are the causes of symphysis pubis diastasis during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Pubic hair area, there is a slight pain when getting up and moving around.

Doctor's answer:

Pubic symphysis diastasis refers to a soft tissue injury condition where minor displacement occurs at the fibrocartilaginous joint between the two sides of the pubic symphysis in the front of the pelvis due to external force, resulting in symptoms such as widened distance between the pubic symphysis, vertical misalignment, local pain, and difficulty lifting the lower limbs. Pubic symphysis diastasis during pregnancy is caused by hormonal changes that lead to relaxation of the ligaments around the pubic symphysis. In this case, even slight external force can cause pubic symphysis diastasis. If you have already given birth, you can ask your doctor to perform manual reduction or traction reduction.
