Could Pelvic Pain During Pregnancy Be Linked to Pus in the Urethra?
Pelvic pain during pregnancy is common and usually related to changes in the body, not pus in the urethra.
Explanation
Pelvic pain in pregnancy, often called pelvic girdle pain, is common and can happen because of changes in the body as the baby grows. These changes can affect how the pelvis moves and feels. Pelvic pain is mainly related to physical changes and stress on the body during pregnancy.
Pus in the urethra can be a sign of an infection, which is different from the usual causes of pelvic pain in pregnancy. Pelvic girdle pain is usually related to how the bones and muscles are affected by the pregnancy.
If you have pelvic pain and are worried about an infection, it is important to talk to a healthcare provider. They can help figure out what is causing the pain and what can be done to help you feel better.
