Although pregnant women may experience changes in their bodies and have a unique constitution, their bodily functions remain unchanged. It's just that hormones in the body undergo changes, which does not affect their overall health. Some pregnant women may feel bloated and anxious under their feet. So, what is the reason for the swelling and pain under their feet at seven months of pregnancy?
At seven months of pregnancy, the swelling and pain below may be caused by vulvovaginal inflammation. After pregnancy, women have a weakened immune system, dysbiosis of vaginal flora, bacterial growth, and can cause pain in the external genitalia and vagina. It may also be swelling of the external genitalia caused by pregnancy combined with hypertension syndrome, and pain may also occur. At the same time, as the gestational age gradually increases, the uterus enlarges, the fetal presentation descends, compresses the perineum, and pain also occurs in the lumbar and sacral regions.
Pay attention to diet, maintain good living habits, eat less stimulating foods, and rest more during the period. Generally, the condition will disappear or improve after childbirth. Go to the hospital for routine vaginal discharge testing and receive targeted treatment. Avoid spicy and other stimulating foods. Engaging in appropriate activities during late pregnancy can aid in childbirth. If there is abdominal pain, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and undergo regular prenatal check ups. It is recommended that women should pay attention to keeping their external genitalia dry and clean during pregnancy, and balance work and rest. If there is no vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain now, it can be observed temporarily. Pay attention to rest, engage in appropriate activities, and prohibit sexual activity. If vaginal bleeding occurs and the pain is severe, seek medical attention promptly.
