Anal pain and swelling in 5 months of pregnancy

During the pregnancy process, women should pay close attention to their physical condition and have regular prenatal checkups to minimize the occurrence of unexpected situations. If a pregnant woman experiences a feeling of heaviness and pain at the anus during the fourth month of pregnancy, she must not take chances and should consult a doctor immediately to understand the cause of the condition and how to solve it to ensure the healthy growth of the fetus and avoid accidents.

What is the reason for the pain in the anus during the fifth month of pregnancy?

The causes of a feeling of heaviness at the anus in the fourth month of pregnancy are very complicated. It may be caused by increased pressure in the abdomen, or it may be caused by constipation due to poor diet. We must not take chances with the first case, because this situation may affect the growth and development of the fetus and may even cause threatened miscarriage. Therefore, we must not delay the condition and should go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital in time to carry out fetal treatment as soon as possible. We don't need to worry too much about this situation. Although it may cause discomfort to pregnant women, it will not affect their growth. As long as we adjust our diet and eat more foods rich in cellulose, the symptoms will gradually improve.

For pregnant women who have a feeling of heaviness and distension at the anus in the fourth month of pregnancy, after discovering that they have this phenomenon, they do not need to be overly anxious, but should pay close attention to their own health status, and then make a diagnosis based on other symptoms of the body. If the pregnant woman also finds that she has abnormal vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain, etc., she should go to the hospital for examination in time, because this may be caused by threatened abortion. But if the pregnant woman has no other discomfort symptoms, then there is no need to worry too much, because this is usually caused by constipation. Pregnant women should usually eat more fruits and vegetables rich in cellulose, and avoid eating greasy and cold foods that are difficult to digest, otherwise it will further aggravate the symptoms.

What are the good positions to maintain during pregnancy?

1. The breasts of expectant mothers

Around 40 days of pregnancy, changes in hormones in the human body will cause the mammary glands to expand, resulting in chest pain. Around the fourth month of pregnancy, the breasts of most pregnant women begin to grow gradually. At this time, there will be mild pain and lumps may appear.

Medical care methods:

1. Clean your chest frequently with warm water and wipe it clean before wearing a bra.

2. Choose a suitable bra that has good load-bearing capacity and does not squeeze the nipples.

3. After cleaning the chest each time, you can apply a hot cotton towel to warm it up, and gently massage it with your fingers in a circular motion.

2. The waist of pregnant mothers

As the fetus grows and develops, the expectant mother's belly gradually grows. This will cause the pressure on the human body to increase and cause the body's center of gravity to change. The relative pelvis and intervertebral discs may also become crooked and bent, causing lower back pain.

Medical care methods:

1. When pregnant mothers sit, try to choose an area with a large chair back. It would be better if there is a pillowcase. In addition, the hips and knees can maintain a level position, allowing the center of gravity to shift to the stride. Maintain a squatting position that makes you comfortable.

2. When you stand up normally, you can spread your legs slightly, relax your shoulders, put the center of gravity of the body between the feet, relieve the pressure on the body, so as not to be too tired.

3. Pregnant mother's teeth

It is said that you must check your teeth before getting pregnant. Due to the changes in hormones during pregnancy, the gums of many pregnant women will be slightly swollen and more prone to gum bleeding. Therefore, you should take more careful care of your teeth during pregnancy.

Medical care methods:

1. Choose whitening toothpaste appropriately, and do not choose whitening toothpaste that contains drugs or is a counterfeit product.

2. Pregnant mothers are more suitable for children's toothbrushes, which can reduce the probability of bleeding gums.

3. Replace your own soft-bristled toothbrush regularly, brush your teeth after breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, and ensure sufficient brushing time. If you don't brush your teeth after a meal (such as in the afternoon), you should rinse your mouth more often, and you can also use auxiliary tools to remove food on your teeth.

4. The private parts of pregnant mothers

During pregnancy, pregnant women's private parts will secrete more substances than usual, which is due to estrogen.

Medical care methods:

1. Choose pure cotton underwear with good breathability, and try to avoid using sanitary napkins.

2. During pregnancy, keep your private parts clean and dry, and change your underwear frequently. When cleaning private parts, there is no need to wash the female genitals.

5. Pregnant mother's feet

During pregnancy, edema may occur due to the influence of factors such as growth hormone, and the increase in weight will put more pressure on the legs of pregnant women, making the legs feel very tired. Especially in the late stage of pregnancy, calcium deficiency will cause frequent cramps, especially at night, the frequency of leg cramps is higher than during the day.

Medical care methods:

1. Choose the right boots that are comfortable and in the right size.

2. You can give your feet and legs a proper massage before going to bed.

3. Walk frequently, flex and stretch the muscles of the feet, promote blood circulation in the feet, and do not stand or squat for a long time.
