Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Is calf cramp in pregnant women a sign of calcium deficiency?Doctor's answer:
Leg cramps during pregnancy may not be entirely caused by calcium deficiency, as the leg muscles can become fatigued due to carrying extra weight. Additionally, the enlarged uterus may compress blood vessels that transport blood from the legs to the heart and nerves that extend from the torso to the legs, also leading to cramps.Hello, based on your description, pregnancy is a possibility, so I recommend you visit a hospital for an ultrasound. If you are not pregnant, it could be a delayed period. It’s okay to have a delayed period occasionally, as it may be related to your mood, physical condition, or environment. Just wait and see—no treatment is needed for now.
Wishing you good health.
