Patient's question:
I felt a particularly sharp pain in my pubic bone two days before giving birth, but I could stillDoctor's answer:
Women during pregnancy and childbirth experience changes in their endocrine system, which causes the ligaments around the pubic symphysis to relax. At this time, slight external force can lead to pubic symphysis diastasis. Due to the hormones not returning to their pre-pregnancy levels in a short period of time, the ligaments around the pelvic area of postpartum women remain in a relaxed state. If the symptoms are not too severe, special treatment may not be necessary. Rest more in bed and pay attention to keeping warm. If the symptoms are severe, physical therapy, massage, and acupuncture can be effective.
