Should you be concerned about groin pain during pregnancy?
Good day. I am six months pregnant. He has been with me for a week now groin pain problem. It’s not that this pain is with me all the time, it’s rather that it comes from time to time. He’s not always the same either – sometimes I can barely feel him and sometimes he can be really strong. About two times I thought that I would have to go to the hospital, but luckily the pain passed and everything turned out well. Whether groin pain in pregnancy is it dangerous? Or is it a normal symptom? I won’t hide it – this is just my first pregnancy and I am often overly worried about many things.
So there is a possibility that in the sixth month of pregnancy, groin pain is perfectly normal, but I just don’t know. Is groin pain serious in pregnancy? Should I go to my doctor or the hospital immediately with this, or should I not worry about it yet, I have to hold on and wait? Or maybe there are some safe ways to deal with groin pain in pregnancy? Maybe I’m doing something wrong? Please help.
Your doctor explains the dangers of groin pain
It would be best to go to your general practitioner (best to spend as little time as possible in the waiting room of the clinic, the doctor is often visited by sick people, and during pregnancy you should limit contacts with potentially infected people, even if it is only a minor infection) and a gynecologist, if the pain continues. The causes of pelvic pain in pregnancy there can be a lot, but the most common are pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain or symphysis pubis dysfunction.
PGP is not harmful to the baby, but it can be painful to move, climb stairs, stand on one leg (e.g. while getting dressed), turn from side to side, or spread the legs. PGP treatment relies on the care of a midwife who will refer you to a physiotherapist specializing in joint problems in pregnant women. A physical therapist may recommend a variety of exercises, passive or active, depending on the severity of your symptoms. A lap belt may also be helpful to provide support for the lower abdomen area, thus relieving pain.
First and foremost, it is recommended to stay as active as possible, as long as there is no pain and avoid activities that may worsen the pain, rest when possible, delegate housework to a partner, family, friends, wear flat shoes, sit down while dressing. It is not recommended to stand on one leg, bend down to lift, hold the child on one hip, cross legs, sit on the floor, sit or stand for long periods of time, lift, vacuum, push heavy objects (including a supermarket trolley) !), only carry things in one hand.
Although it is rare, the physician should also exclude nephrolithiasis, especially if the pain is unilateral, colic and haematuria occurs. In pregnancy, this condition is quite rare due to the physiological changes in the woman’s body during pregnancy, but if characteristic symptoms are found, the doctor should make a diagnosis to exclude or confirm nephrolithiasis.
