Why does my anus swell when I'm pregnant?

During the ten months of pregnancy, women will experience many physical discomforts, especially in the later stages of pregnancy. As the fetus grows, the woman's uterus is also under a great burden, and the expectant mother also bears a greater burden. The sadness and hardship involved are difficult to understand for those who have not experienced it. One of them is anal prolapse. So why does anal prolapse occur in late pregnancy?

Why does anus fall in late pregnancy?

Anal prolapse refers to the feeling of wanting to defecate. In severe cases, it can be manifested as anal prolapse, that is, there is essentially no stool to be discharged, but there is a repeated urge to urinate. This condition is sometimes a very typical local disease of retroperitoneal irritation, especially the irritation of the duodenum caused by the accumulation of blood in the duodenal fossa. Patients often feel an unbearable anal prolapse, which may even radiate to the lumbar sacrum, buttocks and thigh roots. Frequent urge to defecate may be accompanied by a feeling of anal prolapse. Many patients cannot be cured after a long period of treatment because the cause of the disease cannot be found or the treatment method is not good, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. At the same time, different causes of the disease will result in different symptoms of anal prolapse.

In the late pregnancy, as the abdominal pressure increases more and more obviously, the fetus descends into the pelvis and compresses the duodenum, which may cause anal prolapse and a feeling of defecation. The bladder is compressed, which may cause frequent urination and urgency. If there are periodic uterine contractions at the same time, it is considered a sign of labor. Pay attention to changes in the baby's fetal movements and go to the hospital as soon as possible to check the dilation of the cervix.

What are the symptoms of late pregnancy that are signs of labor?

1. The fetal head enters the pelvis: The entry of the fetal head into the pelvis is only the origin of labor for pregnant women, and it does not mean that birth will occur immediately after the fetus enters the pelvis.

2. Pain: Uterine contractions surge like waves, with waves of pain spreading to the lower abdomen, or a feeling of lower back pain and constipation. These uterine contractions are preparations for the birth of the newborn.

3. Rupture of amniotic fluid: Under normal circumstances, the amniotic fluid will only rupture when the cervix is ​​almost fully dilated shortly before delivery. However, there are some expectant mothers who may suddenly experience amniotic fluid rupture without feeling any pain.

4. Spotting during pregnancy: Generally speaking, pain will occur within 24 hours after spotting during pregnancy, and the woman will enter the delivery stage. However, the actual situation is that many people give birth a few days or even a week after spotting during pregnancy.

Although the tenth month of pregnancy is a difficult stage to get through, it is also a stage of hope. Although expectant mothers suffer many setbacks, when they think about the baby in their belly that is about to be born, all the problems no longer matter. The late pregnancy is also the time when you should pay more attention to the entire pregnancy period. During this period, if pregnant mothers feel any discomfort in their body, it is very important to go to the hospital for consultation in time.
