Causes and treatment of pubic pain during pregnancy.

Although the pain of the pubic bone during pregnancy among the complaints mentioned very rarely, nevertheless, they have a place to be and at the same time give great concern to some women. The pubic bone hurts during pregnancy in those cases when in the middle of the pelvic cavity the tendons connecting both bones of the pubis are weakened.

Pubic symphysis and its processes.

The pelvic bone consists of three bones, one of which is the pubic bone, which in turn has in its composition two more bones forming a lone articulation. And it forms the front wall of the pelvis. As a rule, the pubic bone resembles a roller in shape, and the thickness of a pubis is a large human finger. With the bones of the pelvis, it joins along the edges, forming a form similar to the arch, which is called the pubic elevation.

In the body of a woman during pregnancy there are many changes, including hormonal changes, which affects the shape of bones. So, for example, in the second trimester of pregnancy, under the influence of hormones can change and pubic bone. Under the influence of the hormone relaxin, the ligaments, cartilage, and bones of the lone articulation become softer. All this happens in the body in order to facilitate the safe passage of the baby during childbirth through the birth canal and pelvis. And here, if in the process of softening of the articular articulation a malfunction occurs, then the pubic bone pain occurs during pregnancy.

Doctors believe that if the pain of the pubic bone during pregnancy is not strong, then this is the natural process of preparing the female body for childbirth. But if they become worse, while accompanied by swelling, and stretching the pannus joint, which becomes mobile, this leads to a divergence of the bones of the heart. And this can be a bright sign of the symphysite.

Sensations of a pregnant woman with pubic pain (symphysitis).

When a woman begins strong pubic pain during pregnancy at the end of the second trimester, you need to immediately go to the gynecologist's doctor for a thorough diagnosis, and also perform an ultrasound examination of the pubic joint to determine the size of the divergence of the bones.

Most often, at a doctor's appointment, women call these feelings a pain in the perineum, and describe the symptoms in this way: the pain intensifies when walking or when turning from the left to the right side, and also from the right to the left in the prone position. But the patient has a pronounced symphysitis only if there are acute pains in the bladder area, similar to sharp knife strokes.

If the diagnosis is confirmed, the doctors usually appoint a caesarean section, and natural births are strictly prohibited. All because with the natural outcome of the process of giving birth, the bones can disperse even more and the woman subsequently will not be able to walk at all.

Bed rest is prescribed by doctors in two cases, when the patient was prescribed cesarean and with the appearance of postnatal symphysitis. Lying while a woman should not on the plane, but in a special hammock, for rapid convergence of bones.

Where does the disease of pubic bones called symphysitis.

The emergence of the symphysite is due to several reasons. This may be a lack of calcium, and excessive allocation of a woman's body of a hormone, like relaxin. Symphysitis can also arise due to deviations of the musculoskeletal system or because of a genetic predisposition to it, and also because of certain features of the structure of the body.

In any case, women with this diagnosis must be registered, under the supervision of a gynecologist. And the subsequent course of labor will be determined by the doctor, by examining at the 32nd week of pregnancy the discrepancy of the pelvic bone during pregnancy, namely the pannus joint.
