Pregnancy-related Pelvic Girdle Pain

Pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PGP), or symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD), is a common condition resulting in pelvic pain during pregnancy. It can be felt as sharp, shooting pain in the pubic area, lower back, hips, or thighs. PGP occurs due to hormonal changes that loosen the pelvis, ligaments, and joints to prepare for childbirth. Proper rest, pelvic exercises, physical therapy, and wearing supportive garments can help manage and alleviate the pain associated with PGP.
