What causes joint cracking in pregnant women?

Mothers often encounter some troubles and problems that need to be solved as soon as possible, such as physical discomfort or physiological changes, which need to be faced calmly, and the specific situation must be clarified before they can find ways to solve the problem. For example, the problem of joint noise is very common, which cannot be ignored. It is necessary to clarify one's own health status. So what is the reason for the joint noise of mothers?

Joint clicking is a very normal phenomenon. This is because the sound is produced by the sliding of the tendon during activities. It is not the sound of the bones, nor is it due to any disease in the knee joint. However, if the clicking is accompanied by pain, you should be alert.

Generally, joint popping can be divided into physiological and pathological types. Most joint popping is physiological, and while making the sound it will not cause discomfort to other parts of the body. It does not cause much harm to the body and does not require special treatment, nor is there any need to worry about it. However, some people experience discomfort such as soreness, swelling, etc. when their joints pop, which may indicate that there is a problem with the joints. Common clinical diseases include meniscus injury and patellofemoral osteoarthritis. This pathological clicking is more common in the knee, ankle, hip and shoulder joints.

You can often hear people making a "cracking" sound when exercising, such as a sound in the knee joints when squatting, a slight "cracking" sound in the hip joints when walking, a sound in the cervical spine when turning the neck, and a sound in the fingers when clenching the fingers... These sounds are usually called "snapping".

Generally speaking, if there is only a clicking sound but no redness or swelling on the surface, no pain, and no movement disorder, it is physiological clicking and does not require special treatment, nor is there any need to be overly anxious about it. When the joints move, friction and sound will always occur between the articular surfaces, between the cartilage pads and the articular surfaces, between the tendons and the joint capsules, etc.

In most people, this sound is not obvious, but in some people it is clearer. Especially for those who sit for a long time, less lubricating fluid is produced between the joints, which increases the friction loss of the joints and makes it more likely to hear the popping sound. When accompanied by pain or limited joint movement, you need to go to the hospital to determine whether the joint is dislocated or damaged.

Through the above introduction, everyone has a clear idea of ​​what causes joint noises in postpartum women. Postpartum women must always pay attention to their own health and the development of their children. If they feel unwell, they should consult a doctor in time. At the same time, they should also take care of their bodies and recover as soon as possible.
