What causes cramps in groin region during pregnancy?
Patient: im in the 6th month of pregnancy and experience very bad catch/cramps in the groin region wenever i get up from a sitting position lasts for about 10-15 mins before i can straighten up and walk straight is that normal and wat shud i do to prevent them. Doctor: Hi,   I understand your concern.   The cramps/catch in groin while walking/ straightening up .. is mostly due to pressure on nerves in groin by growing fetus .. this in turn leads to muscle pull causing the symptom.    This usually disappears when the baby grows.. & occupies abdominal cavity.. to return back as baby' head is fixed in pelvis in 9th month.     Avoid sudden change in posture,     Take vitamin B12 supplements     - Mild yoga exercises done under expert guidance would help ( by making body more stretchable & flexible)   Thanks.
