Abdominal pain is a common symptom of illness, often caused by improper diet. There is no need to seek medical treatment, drinking some hot water can relieve it. But pregnant women should not be so careless. After experiencing abdominal pain symptoms, they should be cautious. Let's understand what causes right abdominal pain in pregnant women?
The pain in the right abdomen of pregnant women is considered to be caused by appendicitis. Due to the enlargement of the uterus, the appendiceal area of pregnant women will move upwards, and inflammation will manifest as pain in the right abdomen. It is recommended that pregnant women actively seek medical examination. If they have appendicitis, their blood count may increase. Ultrasound examination may also reveal that the appendix has become larger and thicker. In severe cases of inflammation, adhesions may also occur.
In addition to appendicitis, there are many complex diseases that may present with right-sided abdominal pain, such as colitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts, urinary stones, urinary tract infections, etc. These diseases may all be accompanied by symptoms of right-sided abdominal pain. Pregnant women who want to clarify the specific cause of their abdominal pain should actively undergo examinations.
For pregnant women approaching their due date, the occurrence of right abdominal pain cannot be ruled out as a precursor to labor. Before giving birth, the pregnant woman's uterus will contract, accompanied by abdominal pain symptoms. If pregnant women cannot determine the specific cause, they should seek medical attention in a timely manner to avoid any danger to the fetus in the womb.
