Most women may go through the process of pregnancy and childbirth in their lifetime, and many women always look forward to the appearance of their child when they are not pregnant. However, after pregnancy, women always experience some discomfort in their bodies. So, what's wrong with a pregnant woman experiencing dull abdominal pain at eight months of pregnancy?
A woman is eight months pregnant and has entered the late stage of pregnancy. In the late stages of pregnancy, the fetus develops and can bend its limbs, resulting in noticeable fetal movements. So when a pregnant woman is eight months pregnant and feels a slight discomfort in her stomach, it may be caused by fetal movement. This kind of pain usually disappears after a while, which is a normal situation.
However, when a pregnant woman is eight months pregnant, if there are uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, etc., uterine torsion may occur, causing abdominal pain, and in severe cases, it can lead to shock, fetal distress, asphyxia, etc. Therefore, when pregnant women are diagnosed with uterine or ovarian lesions, they need to rest in bed and take painkillers if necessary to improve their physical discomfort. And for the health of both the pregnant woman and the fetus, a cesarean section is necessary.
In addition, when pregnant women are eight months pregnant, their abdominal pressure increases, which may lead to food reflux, causing stomach acid to irritate the esophageal mucosa and causing gastrointestinal discomfort in pregnant women. In addition, if a pregnant woman experiences vaginal bleeding in addition to abdominal pain in the late stage of pregnancy, it may indicate a miscarriage and should be promptly sent to the hospital for treatment.
