Why does my butt hurt during pregnancy?

Pregnant women, because they often need to sit and their ligaments and joints are loose, their abdomen will press on the uterus, and their uterus will press on the pelvic cavity, which will gradually cause low back pain. For hip pain, you should pay attention to rest more and give yourself time to lie in bed and rest every day. This can promote activity and prevent prolonged pain in the buttocks from worsening.

How to relieve buttock pain in pregnant women

It is not easy to be pregnant for 10 months. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the baby develops very quickly and the burden on the lumbar spine is increased a lot. At this time, pregnant mothers' bodies will produce a hormone called pubic relaxant, which can decompress and relax the pelvis and surrounding joint ligaments, making prenatal preparations for the smooth birth of the baby.

Of course, the decompression and relaxation of joints and ligaments will naturally weaken the stability of the waist of pregnant mothers. At this time, the rapid development of the baby also puts pressure on the sciatic nerve. If the pressure is too great, it can easily cause sciatica, buttocks pain, back and thigh pain. Pregnant mothers who have had lumbar muscle sprains before should pay more attention. Once the body is overloaded, lumbar disc herniation is likely to occur. Lumbar disc herniation will compress the sciatic nerve and cause sciatica. At this time, you should seek medical attention in time to relieve the pain.

The following are some good ways to relieve buttock pain in pregnant women:

1. Pregnant mothers with sciatica can use a hot towel or hot water bottle to apply heat to the painful area for about half an hour, and the pain will be greatly relieved.

2. Soaking in warm water every day can also relieve pain.

3. Generally, do not let the pregnant mother help move things. If there is no one around, the pregnant mother should try not to bend over, but squat directly to move things.

4. When sitting, it is generally recommended to sit on a soft lift chair and adjust it to a suitable height. You can also put a cushion on your waist, back, and neck to make pregnant mothers more comfortable and relieve pain.

5. Don't stand or sit for too long. After working for about an hour, you should stretch your muscles for 10 minutes, shake your arms gently, and stretch your limbs.

6. Interested pregnant mothers can also use yoga to relieve physical discomfort.

8. As mentioned above, for pregnant mothers who suffer from sciatica caused by lumbar disc herniation, it is best to use ultrasound examination instead of X-ray.
