The swelling of the lower part of the body after pregnancy may be caused by fetal compression, which is a physiological phenomenon, or it may be caused by vulvodynia, vaginitis, or vestibular cysts.
1. Physiological factors: After pregnancy, the veins are compressed, which may lead to swelling of the vulva, which is a physiological reaction, and close observation is recommended.
2. Pathological factors: During pregnancy, the body’s immune system decreases, easily inducing various infections, such as inflammation of the vagina and vulva, which may lead to vulvar enlargement. Vulvar enlargement, accompanied by obvious pain and crushing sensation, need to go to the hospital for examination to find out whether it is related to inflammation of the vestibular gland, causing swelling.
If the swelling is caused by physiological factors, it is recommended to observe closely and pay attention to personal hygiene. If you suspect that it is caused by disease, we recommend that you go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital for examination and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
