Left pubic pain

Pubic pain is a disease that occurs more frequently in pregnant women and can cause certain physical pain to pregnant women. Pubic pain is more common in the late pregnancy, which is mainly caused by factors such as fetal growth and uterine enlargement during pregnancy. Pubic pain requires certain methods for treatment and care. Below, we will introduce you to the relevant knowledge about pubic pain in detail!

1. Causes

Pubic pain usually occurs in the late stages of pregnancy. As the fetus grows larger, the pubic bone can no longer bear such a heavy burden and becomes somewhat separated, causing soreness in the groin, especially when changing positions. During pregnancy, the hormones relaxin and progesterone help relax the ligaments, making the pelvis more flexible, giving the fetus more room to grow and facilitating delivery. Therefore, symphysis pubis separation occurs in almost all pregnant women. However, some pregnant women may be too sensitive to the above-mentioned hormones, which makes the pubic symphysis area very loose, or because of problems with the alignment of the pelvis, this joint is under more pressure, resulting in excessive separation of the pubic symphysis.

2. Treatment and care of pubic pain in pregnant women:

Conservative treatment:

1. Rest in bed.

2. Use of analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs.

3. Wear supportive clothing.

4. There are also patients abroad who receive correction through massage and osteopathy.

Alternative therapies:

1. Acupuncture.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine.

3. Some people have also tried methods such as stimulating nerves through subcutaneous electrodes.

Medical Surgery:

1. If the pain persists and is very severe after delivery, steroids can be injected directly into the joint.

2. Use surgical methods to take some bones from the hip joint to make a plate to lock the pubic symphysis to fix the joint there.

3. Preventive health care

Generally speaking, most pelvic discomfort caused by symphysis pubis separation will improve significantly within a few weeks. Pay attention to pregnancy checkups and regularly understand the specific circumstances of pubic separation. Regularly perform appropriate thigh stretching exercises to enhance the tension and endurance of muscles and ligaments. Severe pubic symphysis separation requires local abdominal bandage and bed rest. Here are 13 ways to ease the discomfort of this structural change.

1. Place a pillow between your legs when sleeping.

2. When moving your feet and hips on the bed, try to move in parallel and slowly.

3. Swimming helps relieve stress on joints.

4. When standing, your legs should be symmetrical.

5. Avoid sitting astride.

6. Try to dress while sitting down.

7. Place an ice pack on the pubic area.
