Swollen feet and pain in late pregnancy are considered to be caused by physiological factors, as well as pathological factors, such as hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, kidney disease and other causes.
1. Physiological factors: the uterus will gradually increase in size as the weeks of pregnancy increase. The enlarged uterus presses on the side organs and the inferior vena cava, which may lead to the obstruction of the vena cava’s return, resulting in swelling of the feet, and in severe cases, pain may occur.
2. Pathological factors: If the swelling of the feet continues unabated, and the part gradually rises to the legs, accompanied by pain, then we should also be alert to the possibility of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, pyelonephritis and so on. It is necessary to consult a doctor in time to find out the cause and treat the symptoms.
Patients with swollen and painful legs and feet in late pregnancy are advised to consult a doctor in time to identify the specific cause of the disease and give targeted treatment.
