What to do if pregnant women have sacral pain

Pregnancy is a very happy thing for a family, as the hope of the family lies in the pregnancy. However, some pregnant women have to endure physical pain while enjoying the happiness. For example, sacral pain in pregnant women is a relatively common phenomenon. Although it is not a big problem, it will make pregnant women very uncomfortable once it occurs. So, what should pregnant women do if they have sacral pain? Is there any solution for this? Let’s take a look together below.

The sacrum, also called the sacrum in medicine, is a bone formed by the five sacral vertebrae of the human body and serves as the posterior wall of the pelvis. It is connected to the fifth lumbar vertebra above and the coccyx below. Common diseases that can cause pain here include sacral spondylosis, lumbar vertebrae disease, or inflammation.

Generally speaking, this situation can be treated with a combination of topical medications, massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, etc. Pay attention to daily maintenance. Don't stay in one posture for too long. In daily life, you should pay attention to not sitting for long periods of time, bending over less, catching cold, doing strenuous exercise, lifting heavy objects, and sleeping on a hard bed as much as possible.

You may also consider the possibility of calcium deficiency. Due to the rapid development of the fetus, pregnant women are prone to lack of various nutrients and minerals, especially calcium, vitamins and iron. Once deficient, it can easily cause low back pain. When low back pain is accompanied by leg cramps and sciatica, in addition to quickly supplementing calcium and vitamin B1, you should also consult a doctor and seek help in time. For those with mild deficiency, dietary supplements are recommended.

The above is an introduction on what to do if pregnant women have sacral pain. I hope everyone can understand that for mothers who are about to give birth, sacral pain is a relatively normal phenomenon to a certain extent. If it is really unbearable, you should consider it as a problem of pathology. At this time, you should go to the hospital for X-ray observation. Finally, I hope that all expectant mothers can be safe and healthy!
