Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing stomach pain. I've visited many hospitals, some said it's a hernia, others said it's lymphatic blockage. How should I deal with lower back pain at three months of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
I experienced lower back pain again at three months pregnant, which is pregnancy-related lower back pain. The onset of pregnancy-related lower back pain is associated with changes in the physiological curvature of the lumbar spine after conception, increased load on the lumbar spine after conception, and the impact of hormonal level changes on the whole body. Some patients may have had lumbar disc inflammation before pregnancy, which worsens after conception, leading to pain symptoms. During pregnancy, oral medication is not recommended, and treatments generally include appropriate rest and local therapy. Most patients can gradually alleviate the symptoms of lower back pain.
