Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why does the test strip turn red in the middle of the CT?Doctor's answer:
Pain in the lower abdomen during the 2nd to 4th months of pregnancy occurs because the fetus grows relatively quickly at this stage. The expansion of the uterus stretches surrounding tissues, such as the ligaments that hold the uterus in place, the blood vessels that provide nutrients to the uterus, and the nerves that control the uterus, through mechanical traction. The surrounding organs, such as the bladder and rectum, may also experience lower abdominal pain due to compression from the enlarged uterus. As the pregnancy progresses, the pregnant woman gradually adapts to this, and the pain may lessen or disappear completely.
