What is the reason for a slight lower abdomen pain after pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Symptom Description: Some dull pain in the lower body after pregnancy
History of Treatment and Effect: No significant treatment has been received
Help Desired: I would like to ask some questions

Doctor's answer:

Pregnancy can lead to discomfort as the growing fetus exerts pressure on the uterus, which in turn affects blood circulation in the lower body, causing fatigue, back and waist muscle pain, and varying degrees of separation of the pubic bone. Sitting or standing for long periods, as well as physical exertion, may lead to coccyx pain and lower back pain. This condition is generally not abnormal and can be managed by maintaining a positive mood, engaging in moderate exercise, and attending regular prenatal check-ups.
It’s important to actively prevent symptoms such as vulvar congestion and discomfort caused by fetal development and pressure. Rest and appropriate exercise are key, avoiding prolonged standing. As the fetus grows, the uterus continues to descend, increasing pressure and pain. I experienced similar symptoms during my pregnancy, especially when turning over in bed, which was the most painful. You should visit the hospital to check for cervical edema, as this can cause vaginal pain. If it is present, you may need to receive injections for inflammation. Otherwise, the pain may persist and worsen during childbirth.
