Causes and treatments of leg numbness during sleep in pregnant women

The problem of numb legs when pregnant women sleep is not big, but not small either. With the rapid development of today's life, while people are enjoying a modern high-quality life, a series of problems have also arisen. Many people suffer from various diseases. I believe that the disease of numb legs when pregnant women sleep is not unfamiliar. The incidence of this disease in our daily life is increasing, which has brought great troubles to our lives and health, and affected the normal work, study and life of many people. So what are some good ways to treat the situation of numb legs when pregnant women sleep? Let us now understand the reasons why pregnant women’s legs feel numb when they sleep.

reason:

1. Influence of pregnancy posture: As the pregnant woman's abdominal circumference increases, the center of gravity of the body will lean forward. In order to keep the body balanced, the muscles of the waist and back must be stretched, which will cause the nerves in the shoulders to be involved, and then affect the nerves in the hands, and the pregnant woman will feel soreness and numbness in the hands.

2. Compression of the uterus in the late pregnancy: The enlarged uterus in the late pregnancy compresses the pelvic blood vessels, causing poor blood return to the lower limbs and leading to swelling and numbness in the feet.

3. Edema: Edema is the phenomenon of excessive accumulation of water in body tissues. The "median nerve" in the wrist will be compressed due to tissue edema, causing obvious soreness and numbness in the hand. This is the manifestation of "carpal tunnel syndrome".

4. When edema occurs, the lower limbs are likely to swell and feel sore and numb. The reason is the same as above.

Treatment:

1. Pregnant women should keep their daily posture with a "backrest". Whether sitting or standing, the back should be properly supported so that the body can maintain balance without excessive force, and it can also reduce the numbness and soreness of the hands and feet caused by exerting force on the waist and back.

2. It is not advisable to wear high heels in the late pregnancy to avoid unstable center of gravity. In addition to preventing falls, you should also be careful about poor muscle strength and numbness in your hands and feet.

3. It is recommended that pregnant women can choose to use a suitable "belly support belt" in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, which can reduce and share the pressure on the waist and back and alleviate the symptoms of numbness and soreness.

4. Raise your hands and feet before going to bed, and use a small pillow to support your wrists and ankles to improve the problem of poor blood return.
