What to do if you have sacral pain during pregnancy

If we say that the greatest people in the world are heroes and great men, the remaining terrifying ones are mothers. Mothers suffer from pain from pregnancy to childbirth. Although pregnancy brings new hope, pregnant women also suffer pain. Pregnant women often suffer from conditions such as leg cramps due to calcium deficiency and sacral pain. Sacral pain in pregnant women is a relatively common condition. Although it is not a serious condition, it can make pregnant women very uncomfortable when it occurs. Today we will talk about sacral pain in pregnant women. What should we do if a pregnant woman has sacral pain? Let’s discuss this together below.

The sacrum, also called the sacrum in medicine, is a bone formed by the five sacral vertebrae of the human body and serves as the posterior wall of the pelvis. It is connected to the fifth lumbar vertebra above and the coccyx below. Common diseases that can cause pain here include sacral spondylosis, lumbar vertebrae disease, or inflammation.

Generally speaking, this situation can be treated with a combination of topical medications, massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, etc. Pay attention to daily maintenance. Don't stay in one posture for too long. In daily life, you should pay attention to not sitting for long periods of time, bending over less, catching cold, doing strenuous exercise, lifting heavy objects, and sleeping on a hard bed as much as possible.

You may also consider the possibility of calcium deficiency. Due to the rapid development of the fetus, pregnant women are prone to lack of various nutrients and minerals, especially calcium, vitamins and iron. Once deficient, it can easily cause low back pain. When low back pain is accompanied by leg cramps and sciatica, in addition to quickly supplementing calcium and vitamin B1, you should also consult a doctor and seek help in time. For those with mild deficiency, dietary supplements are recommended.

The above is an introduction to sacral pain in pregnant women. Everyone also knows what to do when a pregnant woman has sacral pain. For pregnant women, sacral pain is a very normal condition. As long as it is not too uncomfortable, there is basically no problem. If the pain is too severe, you need to go to the hospital for examination. But in the end, I still hope all mothers are healthy and happy.
