Patient's question:
Medical Description: I am 20 days away from my due date, but I have severe pain in my vaginal muscles. Treatment history and effectiveness: I haven't sought treatment yet. What help do I need: I want to know what might be the cause of this, is it normal? Will it have any adverse effects on the baby?Doctor's answer:
This may be a sensation of increased pressure caused by some uterine contractions. You can observe the situation without needing treatment. The closer you get to your due date, the more similar symptoms you may experience, such as false labor contractions with abdominal hardness. If these occur more frequently, it's important to pay attention to the risk of preterm labor. If they are not very frequent, they are considered normal, and regular prenatal check-ups are sufficient without treatment.Additionally, the baby is more active at night and spends most of the daytime sleeping, so it's normal for there to be more activity at night. There's no need to worry too much—just rest well.
