Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I use a topical cream for lower back pain at 5 months pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hormone secretion in the human body changes during pregnancy. After becoming pregnant, the body secretes a hormone to ensure the baby can pass smoothly through the birth canal. This hormone also relaxes the ligaments connecting the pelvis, which simultaneously relaxes the muscles, increasing the curvature of the spine and making it easier to experience lower back pain. This is normal. You can use a towel for hot compresses. Simple hot compresses and gentle massages can promote blood circulation within the muscles, enhance muscle nutrition, and alleviate pain.
