Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Lu
Pubic pain during the ninth month of pregnancy is a common physiological response, which can be relieved by the following methods:
1. Adequate rest: Avoid standing or sitting for prolonged periods to reduce pressure on the pubic bone.
2. Appropriate calcium supplementation: The demand for calcium increases during pregnancy, and proper calcium intake can help alleviate pain caused by osteoporosis.
3. Use of a belly support belt: Choose an elastic, adjustable belly support belt to reduce pressure on the lower back and pubic area.
4. Adjust sleeping position: Place a small pillow between the legs while sleeping to help relieve pain.
5. Warm compress: Applying a warm compress to the pubic symphysis can help reduce swelling and alleviate pain.
6. Appropriate exercise: Engage in low-impact exercises such as walking or prenatal yoga under medical guidance to strengthen muscles and ligaments, improving support for the pelvic area.
