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. Could you please tell me what the effects of contractions at 31 weeks of pregnancy would be?Doctor's answer:
Contraction is the sudden tightness in the abdomen. It's normal for women in the late stages of pregnancy to experience contractions. As long as they don't come with pain, there's no significant impact. However, while it's normal to have contractions in the late stages of pregnancy, if they are severe, it's important to visit the hospital to check for the possibility of preterm labor. Consider that the symptoms may be caused by gynecological infections such as vaginitis or cervical erosion. It's essential to promptly consider a gynecological examination at the hospital, undergo an ultrasound of the pelvic organs, a routine vaginal discharge test, and a cervical examination. Based on the results, follow the doctor's guidance to receive proper and active treatment. Pay attention to hygiene, and avoid sexual activity during treatment.
