In fact, pregnant women should pay more attention to their bodies in daily life and learn more knowledge in this area. Only in this way can they solve problems when they encounter them, such as lower abdominal pain. So let us take a look at the causes of lower abdominal pain in pregnant women. main reason: Physiological abdominal pain 1. At around 4 months of pregnancy, the uterus enlarges and the round ligament of the uterus is stretched, and many expectant mothers will feel some abdominal pain. This type of pain is mostly located on one or both sides of the uterus in the lower abdomen, and is referred pain, dull pain or lack thereof. The pain becomes more obvious when walking a long distance or changing body position. Expectant mothers don’t need to worry, the symptoms can be relieved by resting in bed more. 2. Exerting too much force during sexual intercourse in the second trimester of pregnancy can also cause abdominal pain in pregnant women. Pathological abdominal pain In the second half of pregnancy, the baby gradually grows and the pressure in the expectant mother's abdominal cavity also increases. If the expectant mother's esophageal hiatus (the hole through which the esophagus descends to connect to the stomach) widens, "esophageal hiatal hernia" may occur, causing abdominal pain. At this time, abdominal pain is often accompanied by symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, chest pain, acid reflux, and hiccups. The incidence of hiatal hernia during pregnancy is approximately 30% to 50%, and the symptoms are sometimes more obvious in the late pregnancy. Therefore, expectant mothers are advised to: eat small and frequent meals, and eat less sweet, spicy, or sticky food; avoid lying flat on the bed or lying too low after meals, and try to bend over as little as possible to reduce acid reflux; keep bowel movements open. If you find symptoms of gastric reflux, try to raise your upper body about 20 degrees. The above article introduces in detail some of the reasons for lower abdominal pain in pregnant women. I believe everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding, so in daily life, if such a situation occurs, you should pay more attention. |
