In the late stage of pregnancy, as labor approaches, the pressure on pregnant women is relatively high, with both physical discomfort and fear of childbirth. Sometimes, even small things can cause tension for a long time. So, what is the reason for vulvar pain in the late stage of pregnancy?
Pain in the external genitalia of pregnant women in the late stage of pregnancy may be caused by the gradual enlargement of the fetus, leading to the descent of the fetal head and the compression of the pelvic cavity by the fetus. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require special treatment. It will return to normal after delivery. Pain in the genital area cannot be ruled out as vaginitis or other conditions. If a pregnant woman suffers from vaginitis, she may experience symptoms such as genital pain, increased vaginal discharge, and itching in the external genitalia. Pregnant women should seek medical treatment promptly, as labor is imminent and any discomfort should be treated as soon as possible.
In late pregnancy, pelvic blood flow increases, leading to increased venous pressure, and the uterus also enlarges, which causes varicose veins in the genital area and pain. Pregnant women are advised not to stand frequently in the late stage, to rest in bed more often, and to pay attention to the hygiene of the genital area. They should also not frequently touch the genital area with their hands.
Pregnant women in late pregnancy should pay more attention to their physical condition, not only for their own safety, but also for the health of their babies. In the late stage of pregnancy, it is important to undergo prenatal check ups and pay attention to the condition of the baby. If the pain in the genital area is too severe, you can go to the hospital to investigate the cause and receive targeted treatment.
