Pregnant for four and a half months, my right buttock always hurts and I can't touch the ground. What should I do?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

You are currently in the second trimester of pregnancy, which is the period when the baby grows and develops most rapidly. As the uterus continues to expand, the pressure in the abdominal and pelvic cavities will also increase, leading to some pain symptoms caused by compression of the sciatic nerve. However, these symptoms will not be very severe and are also temporary—they will disappear quickly after delivery. It is recommended that you minimize prolonged sitting or standing and alternate your positions to alleviate the discomfort.
