What to do if there is pain in the external genitalia at eight months of pregnancy1

  At eight months of pregnancy, if there is pain in the external genitalia, women need to observe carefully to see if there is any redness or swelling. If there is redness or swelling, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner to prevent it from being caused by gynecological diseases. Furthermore, as the gestational age increases, pregnant women may experience various discomforts in their bodies. External genital pain may also be caused by pelvic bone separation, mainly due to the influence of pregnancy hormones in the late stages of pregnancy. Different pregnant women may feel different degrees of discomfort. Pregnant women should pay attention to strengthening rest and care.

  In addition, at eight months of pregnancy, the pregnant woman's belly becomes relatively large. As the fetus gradually develops, the pregnant woman's uterus is also stretched out, which will compress the inferior vena cava nerve of the pregnant woman, thereby affecting the blood circulation in the lower limbs of the pregnant woman. Over time, this will cause pain and soreness in the external genitalia of the pregnant woman. Therefore, pregnant women can exercise appropriately to relieve the blood circulation in the lower limbs.

  During pregnancy, pregnant women should choose to wear loose and comfortable cotton underwear, which is beneficial for absorbing sweat and preventing friction during movement, thus avoiding the production of some bacteria. Moreover, pregnant women should not wear tight underwear or pants when experiencing external genital pain.
