Sciatica during pregnancy

If symptoms of sciatica appear in the third month of pregnancy, we can relieve them by stretching the legs and massaging the waist. However, this may also cause excessive strain on the lumbar spine, so pregnant women should walk appropriately during pregnancy, which will help the development of the fetus. If you experience sciatica symptoms during the third month of pregnancy, you should avoid excessive exercise and adjust your daily routine.

Women are particularly painful after pregnancy and are prone to sciatica, which brings trouble to pregnant women and seriously harms the health of patients. The cause of the disease is related to lumbar disc herniation, because the various ligaments in the pregnant woman's body are in a relatively loose state, and the fetus, placenta, amniotic fluid, etc. will continue to develop, thereby inducing pelvic tilt, and the back muscles will become loose and fatigued, which will lead to lumbar disc herniation. After lumbar disc herniation occurs, pregnant women will develop symptoms such as edema and congestion, which compresses the sciatic nerve and causes sciatica.

Excessive strain on the lumbar spine is also a cause of sciatica in pregnant women. The fetus will continue to develop and grow inside the pregnant woman's uterus, which will increase the burden on the pregnant woman's lumbar spine. If the pregnant woman does not pay attention to rest during pregnancy and engages in heavy physical labor, it will cause excessive strain on the lumbar spine, and then symptoms of sciatica will occur.

There are many reasons why pregnant women experience sciatica, such as special physiological factors during pregnancy. The endocrine hormones of pregnant women will undergo physiological changes during pregnancy, such as relaxation of joints and ligaments, which will lead to a significant weakening of the stability of the pregnant woman's waist. The continuous growth of the fetus will cause pressure on the pregnant woman's back, squeezing the sciatic nerve, and slowly symptoms of pain will appear.

Female friends who are pregnant must be careful about the occurrence of sciatica, and must pay attention to rest more during pregnancy. They must not overwork, and they must also seriously understand some knowledge about sciatica. After pregnancy, they need to avoid the above-mentioned triggering factors. If the symptoms of the disease unfortunately appear, they must also actively seek treatment.
