Patient's question:
My wife is almost 5 months pregnant, and her belly is getting bigger and bigger. However, my wife says her lower abdomen always aches occasionally, and sometimes it's even difficult to turn over. She asked a doctor, and the doctor said she had symphysis pubis diastasis, which is normal, and advised her to exercise moderately.Doctor's answer:
The pubic symphysis is composed of two fibrocartilaginous discs. There is a pubic symphysis cavity between the two discs. The pubic symphysis is reinforced by ligaments above, below, left, and right.In normal individuals, the distance between the two pubic bones is approximately 4-5 mm, with no vertical misalignment. The pubic symphysis is a micro-motion joint, connected by the pubic ligaments. When the ligaments are injured, separation can occur, leading to symptoms.
