Why does the waist hurt when the uterus contracts?

Lower back pain due to uterine contractions may be caused by a posterior uterus, or it may be caused by the influence of hormones in the body before delivery. These are all normal phenomena and there is no need to be particularly nervous. The symptoms will improve after the fetus is delivered. If the lower back pain is severe, you can massage the lower back muscles appropriately.

1. Posterior uterus: Under normal circumstances, female patients will experience uterine contractions during labor, and some patients will also experience severe lower back pain. This is mainly related to the position of the female patient's uterus. A posterior uterus indicates that the female patient's cervix is ​​relatively high, and the uterine contractions are paroxysmal.

2. Influence of hormones in the body: Pregnancy is a difficult process. Every woman will experience it and know the hardships involved. After pregnancy, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body will gradually increase, and the ligament tissue in the body will gradually relax. Especially before delivery, patients will experience symptoms of back muscle strain, accompanied by low back pain.

If the symptoms of lower back pain during contractions are severe, family members can gently massage the female patient's waist, which can relieve pain and promote local blood circulation. If the duration of contractions becomes shorter and shorter, you need to go to the hospital for examination in time, such as fetal heart rate check and abdominal B-ultrasound, and be prepared for delivery at any time.
