Pregnant woman has unbearable pain on the right side of her waist

As the gestational age increases, the fetus grows and develops faster and faster, the pregnant woman's belly gradually becomes larger, and her weight continues to increase, making it more and more inconvenient for pregnant mothers to move. Some pregnant women also experience unbearable pain on the right side of their waist, which even affects their sleep at night. Back pain, varicose veins, calf edema and other discomfort symptoms during pregnancy are normal manifestations of pregnancy, so pregnant mothers don’t need to worry.

1. What causes pain on the right side of the waist in pregnant women?

1. After a woman becomes pregnant, as her abdomen continues to gain weight, in order to maintain the body's balance, the waist muscles will become overly fatigued and cause right-side back pain.

2. The hormone secretion in a woman's body will change after she becomes pregnant. In order for the baby to pass through the birth canal smoothly during delivery, the pregnant woman secretes a hormone that will cause the ligaments connecting the pelvis to relax. This hormone will also cause muscle relaxation, causing the curvature of the spine to increase, which can easily cause right-side low back pain.

3. Women's exercise volume will decrease during pregnancy, which will lead to a decrease in basic physical strength. When physical strength decreases, they cannot maintain a normal posture, which can easily cause right-side low back pain.

4. The impact on the uterus and fetus during pregnancy can also cause right-side low back pain.

5. It may be caused by the position of the uterus. Some people have a posterior uterus. After pregnancy, the enlarged uterus will compress the lower back, causing soreness and discomfort on the right side.

2. Causes of back pain during pregnancy

During pregnancy, as the fetus grows, the ligaments of the pregnant woman's lumbar and pelvic joints relax. At the same time, the weight of the uterus also increases with the growth of fetal age, causing the body's center of gravity to move forward. In order to maintain body balance, the waist is often straightened forward. If you do not pay attention to rest, it is easy to cause back pain. During pregnancy, the fetus needs sufficient nutrients such as calcium and phosphorus for development. If the dietary intake is insufficient, it can cause osteoporosis and decalcification in pregnant women, and can also cause low back pain. Excessive postpartum bleeding, premature labor, excessive fatigue, and cold can also cause low back pain.

3. Prevention and treatment of low back pain during pregnancy

1. Pregnant women should do more exercise during pregnancy, such as taking regular walks, to enhance the flexibility of the waist and back.

2. Women must keep warm after becoming pregnant and take care to prevent their backs from catching cold.

3. As the belly continues to grow during pregnancy, pregnant women must not walk in high heels. They should wear light, low-heeled shoes. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, they can frequently massage the waist and back appropriately.

4. Pregnant women should try not to lift heavy objects during pregnancy. If they need to bend over to pick up something, they should keep their backs straight, bend their lower limbs, and straighten their legs after grabbing the object before picking it up. This can prevent the waist from bending and exerting force.
