Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Mingxuan
Pain in the pelvic bones after pregnancy mainly occurs due to the enlargement of the uterus during pregnancy, which may lead to fetal calcium deficiency. Pregnant women may also develop sciatica due to a lack of trace elements. Therefore, it is important to get adequate rest, avoid excessive fatigue and cold exposure. In the middle and later stages of pregnancy, as the uterus enlarges, using a maternity support belt to lift the growing abdomen can help reduce pressure on the lower limbs and alleviate sciatic nerve pain.
