Numbness of the legs in pregnancy may be due to physiological factors, or it may be due to calcium deficiency, varicose veins of the lower extremities and other diseases.
1. Physiological factors: after pregnancy, with the gradual development of the fetus, the uterus will slowly increase, the uterus will compress the abdominal aorta, if the pregnant woman usually sits for a long time, lying on her back, which will easily lead to poor blood circulation in the legs, causing numbness of the feet.
2. Pathological factors:
(1) Calcium deficiency: due to the rapid development of the fetus, the nutrients needed by pregnant women will increase accordingly, if the calcium supplement is insufficient during pregnancy, it will lead to calcium deficiency, which will cause leg cramps, numbness of the feet and other uncomfortable symptoms.
(2) Varicose veins in the lower limbs: As the uterus slowly grows and presses on the lower limbs for a long time, the blood circulation in the lower limbs is easily affected, which may lead to varicose veins in the lower limbs during pregnancy and cause numbness in the legs.
If you exclude the physiological factors of numbness in pregnancy, you should go to the hospital in time to avoid adverse effects.
