Patient's question:
Patient Gender:Female
Detailed Condition and Purpose of Consultation: Hello, I am currently 4 months pregnant.
These past few weeks, my right buttock has been very sore. At times, I can barely move my right leg, and it hurts severely when I do. My friend mentioned it could be a problem with the sciatic nerve. What kind of issue is this?
First Follow-up Question: This condition has persisted for over a week.
Second Follow-up Question: What illness is this? Is it related to the sciatic nerve or caused by calcium deficiency?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, such a situation is likely caused by the uterus pressing on the nerves, so don't worry. It could also be due to calcium deficiency. Taking calcium supplements like Gai Zhong Gai can be quite effective. Eat more calcium-rich foods, such as fish, bone broth, etc. Maintain a balanced diet, increase nutrition, and consume more fish, shrimp, and milk.
