Heel pain in late pregnancy is considered to be caused by prolonged walking, the effect of progesterone and other reasons, but also does not exclude the possibility of calcium deficiency.
1. Prolonged walking: due to weight gain in late pregnancy, prolonged walking, feet do not get enough rest, will lead to heel pain and other discomforts.
2. Progesterone effect: the increased level of progesterone during pregnancy will lead to ligament relaxation, affecting the normal anatomical parts of the heel, thus resulting in heel pain.
3. Calcium deficiency: If the nutritional intake during pregnancy is insufficient, the calcium content in the body is low, which can’t meet the needs of the body and the fetus, calcium deficiency will occur. Calcium deficiency can easily cause osteoporosis, which will cause symptoms such as weakness and bone pain. And the heel needs to bear the whole force of the body, and the localized gravity pressure for a long time will lead to localized pain.
There are more reasons for heel pain in late pregnancy, so it is recommended to consult a doctor for examination and clear diagnosis.
