Patient's question:
Symptom Description: 7 months pregnant, have been having lower abdominal pain these last two days, the pain gets worse when walking. No other symptoms, not sure if it's serious?Past Treatment and Effect: Have never had this kind of situation before.
Help Needed: Is it serious?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, in the late stages of pregnancy, there may be some allergic contractions without abdominal pain. Abdominal pain related to obstetrics may include preterm labor, placental abruption, or degeneration of uterine fibroids, all of which require immediate medical attention. There are too many other causes of abdominal pain, the most common being dietary indiscretion leading to diarrhea. Additionally, conditions like appendicitis, cholecystitis, and other diseases that can cause abdominal pain during non-pregnancy may also occur in pregnant women. It is recommended to rest more, increase left-side lying, and pay attention to any symptoms such as vaginal bleeding or fluid leakage. If these occur, seek medical attention promptly for related examinations to rule out the possibility of preterm labor. Wishing you a happy pregnancy.
