Pain in the vagina when turning over while sleeping in late pregnancy

Women during pregnancy are prone to show a lot of physical symptoms, and they have a great impact on their lives. Therefore, most women will pay close attention to their physical health during pregnancy. Most of the symptoms during pregnancy have a negative impact on the body. For example, some women will experience pain in the genitals when they turn over in sleep in the late pregnancy. Why is this happening? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

This symptom may be affected in the late stages of pregnancy. As the fetus grows, the uterus also grows, which will compress the surrounding tissues, blood vessels, nerves, organs, etc. This may cause the vulva to become engorged and painful. It is recommended to take more rest and avoid long periods of walking and standing. In addition, go to the obstetrics clinic for relevant examinations as soon as possible. Some women feel swelling in the vulva a few months after pregnancy, with local redness of the skin and severe pain in the vulva when walking. This phenomenon is clinically known as "varicose veins of the vulva".

The uterus of a pregnant woman shoulders a heavy responsibility and requires a large amount of blood supply, which increases the blood flow in the pelvic veins and internal iliac veins, causing the pressure in the veins to increase, causing the thin-walled veins in the vulva and inner thighs to expand abnormally.

In addition, as the fetus grows gradually, the uterus also grows accordingly in the pelvic cavity, which can easily compress the veins and hinder blood return, causing congestion and leading to varicose veins. Furthermore, the concentration of estrogen in the blood increases rapidly during pregnancy, causing the venous walls to relax and resulting in varicose veins in the vulva. The key to preventing varicose veins of the vulva during pregnancy is to pay attention to hygiene during pregnancy. After becoming pregnant, women should avoid standing for long periods of time, especially in the later stages of pregnancy. Avoid wearing tight pants, shoes and socks. Do not approach heat sources or bathe in excessively hot water.

In the later stages of pregnancy, the daily behavior of pregnant women will be affected by the fetus. In order to ensure the healthy growth of the baby and the safety of the pregnant woman herself, after pregnancy, expectant mothers should pay attention to maintaining correct posture.
