When female friends are pregnant, they often have a difficult time. Not only does the burden on their bodies become heavier, but they are also prone to some adverse symptoms such as lower back pain, lower limb edema, and constipation. Some pregnant women may also experience anal pain. So, what causes anal pain in women at 33 weeks of pregnancy?
When a woman is 33 weeks pregnant, anal pain may be caused by anal fissures. Pregnant women are particularly prone to constipation, which can lead to difficulty in defecation. Moreover, when constipated, the stool will be very dry and require force to be expelled, which can easily lead to anal fissures and cause anal pain in pregnant women.
During pregnancy, many pregnant women will suffer from hemorrhoids. If they already have hemorrhoids, they are likely to worsen during pregnancy. The main symptoms of hemorrhoids are anal pain and possible bleeding. When hemorrhoids are severe, symptoms such as inability to recover and inflammatory edema may occur, which can lead to severe pain.
Anal pain in pregnant women may also be related to diet. If pregnant women eat foods such as chili peppers, they may stimulate the anus during defecation, which can easily lead to anal pain. Women should not eat spicy and other stimulating foods during pregnancy, as this can not only cause anal pain but also stimulate the uterus, causing symptoms of uterine contractions and increasing the risk of miscarriage.
