Why does my vagina hurt when I'm pregnant?

In our lives, most women will feel genital pain after pregnancy. In fact, this reason is very common. When a woman is pregnant, there is already a fetus in her uterus. As the fetus grows, the uterus will slowly sag, and uterine sagging will cause genital pain in women. So what is the reason for genital pain when you are just pregnant?

What causes vaginal pain in pregnant women?

In addition, the reason for this "lower body" pain in pregnant women is that the metatarsal joints begin to separate after pregnancy. Even worse, it will cause pain to pregnant women when doing daily life activities. For example, it will cause inconvenience when pregnant women cough, burp, lie down, turn over, etc.

After pregnancy, under the influence of progesterone, the two pubic bones will separate slightly, so that the fetus can be delivered smoothly. If the pubic bone is separated too much, it will be pulled and cause pain when moving. For example, when pregnant women go upstairs, they usually land on their heels, so the center of gravity of their body is biased to one side. At this time, the left and right pubic bones will be misaligned, pulling on the fibrous cartilage and ligaments, causing pain. If the separation is severe, it may tear the ligaments or cause edema, making it impossible to walk.

Although there are relatively few pregnant women who experience pain due to pubic separation after pregnancy, the pain is relatively mild and tolerable and will not affect work and life. However, pregnant women should still avoid long walks or heavy physical labor. In case of severe pain, you should stay in bed and rest.

This kind of pain in the "lower body" of pregnant women will bring certain inconveniences to them, but it is also a necessary process that pregnant women need to go through to nurture a life, and it is necessary for the development and growth of the fetus.

The above is an introduction to what causes genital pain in pregnant women. After understanding it, we know that there are many reasons for this phenomenon. Therefore, when such symptoms occur, do not blindly use medications. Be sure to consult a doctor in time. In addition, try to reduce the number of sexual intercourse throughout the pregnancy, do not do too strenuous exercise, and go to the hospital regularly for prenatal check-ups.
