Women are the most difficult people in this world. Not only do you need to manage household chores, but you also need to earn money to support your family. I have to endure the care of my menstrual cycle every month. Some people say that women are like vases and need care; Some people say that women should become 'super capable women'. From falling in love, getting married, and starting a family, women need to complete the role transition from a girl to a mother in just a few years or even a year. Some people say that only after giving birth can one know what a woman is. Because we need to experience the growth of the fetus in the womb and feel the gestation of a life. However, if abdominal pain occurs in the late stages of pregnancy, there is even greater concern that one may end up with a fake child.
So, what is the cause of abdominal pain in late pregnancy?
Expectant mothers may experience abdominal pain in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. There is no need to be too nervous and blindly guess, but one should not be careless. The main thing is to distinguish the type of pain and seek medical attention in a timely manner.
If mild abdominal pain occurs during late pregnancy, accompanied by significant vaginal bleeding, it may be related to placental abruption.
Placental abruption can be mild or severe. Usually it is a severe, persistent, and progressive lower abdominal pain. The main symptom of mild placental abruption is vaginal bleeding, with a generally large amount of bleeding and a dark red color. It may be accompanied by mild abdominal pain or unclear abdominal pain, and the signs of anemia are not significant; Severe placental abruption is more common in severe preeclampsia, mainly manifested as persistent abdominal pain and lower back pain. The larger the peeling surface and the more blood accumulates behind the placenta, the more severe the pain becomes, and even endangers the life safety of mother and baby.
In addition, if there is a feeling of compression pain in the pelvic area during late pregnancy, it is mainly due to the constantly growing fetus compressing the nerves that control the vagina and legs. Because this pain usually occurs during exercise, the rhythm of walking or riding in a car will cause the fetus to "jump" in the abdomen, so the method of relief is to lie on the side and rest.
In addition to causing abdominal pain in pregnant women as mentioned above, constipation and urinary tract infections can also cause abdominal pain. Hormones during pregnancy slow down digestive function and can sometimes cause pelvic pain or discomfort. Urinary tract infections can cause common symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, urethral burning, and some people may also experience abdominal pain. Additionally, the possibility of kidney stones and appendicitis cannot be ruled out.
So, the symptoms and pain situation of pelvic pain during pregnancy vary from person to person. If expectant mothers have gestational hypertension syndrome, chronic hypertension, or abdominal impact, they should seek medical attention promptly when experiencing obvious abdominal pain to prevent accidents.
