Why do I have back pain during pregnancy?

This condition is common during pregnancy because it is caused by changes in hormones in the body during pregnancy. Secondly, due to the gradual expansion of the uterus, the center of gravity of the human body is all at the position of the spine, and it will involuntarily lean back, which will cause muscle tension and waist discomfort. So don't stand or sit for a long time, remember to rest more, don't climb, and do some super difficult movements. Properly massaging your waist and applying heat with a hand warmer can have an improved effect.

Low back pain is very common and has many causes. The most common orthopedic conditions, such as lumbar muscle strain, lumbar myofasciitis, lumbar disc herniation, lumbar stenosis, lumbar spondylolisthesis, including inflammation of the lumbar superior gluteal nerve, may all cause low back pain. In addition to low back pain caused by orthopedics, you should also pay attention to whether you have urological diseases. The most common concern in gynecology and urology is kidney stones, which can also cause low back pain.

The identification method is as follows:

1. If you have back pain and pain in the kidney area, you can do a kidney ultrasound and abdominal CT to determine whether there is a possibility of stones;

2. Do not ignore gynecological diseases such as early pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy, and do a pregnancy test to check if there is any cause of back pain;

3. The most common cause of the disease is common orthopedic reasons. You should go to the orthopedic surgery department for treatment. The diagnosis should be established based on intervertebral disc CT and intervertebral disc MRI, and medication should be used for treatment. In case of acute symptoms, it is recommended to rest on a hard bed.

During pregnancy, women's physical fitness weakens, they gain weight, their exercise intensity decreases, and the pressure on their waist and back muscles increases. If due to fatigue or exposure to cold stimulation, it will cause lumbar tendon injury, resulting in soreness and pain symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women not only get a good rest, but also do not sit at home for a long time. They should take a walk outdoors and breathe fresh air appropriately. At the same time, women during pregnancy should also eat properly, and control their weight while supplementing nutrition. This will not only relieve the pressure on the waist and back muscles, but also reduce the pressure on the cardiovascular system and other important internal organs, which will be beneficial to the health of pregnant women and their fetuses.
