Although toothache is a common dental disease in the oral cavity, its impact on health is not small, especially when it causes difficulty sleeping and eating. Women who experience toothache during pregnancy are particularly afraid of affecting their health during pregnancy. So, can toothache in pregnant women cause uterine contractions?
1. Pregnant women who experience toothache generally do not experience uterine contractions as a result. If there are uterine contractions during toothache, it is necessary to consider whether it is a sign of labor and distinguish between true and false contractions. If regular uterine contractions occur during the due date stage, especially when there are intermittent shortening and enhancement of contractions, labor may occur later, which belongs to true uterine contractions. Therefore, it is necessary to be highly vigilant and seek medical examination in a timely manner to prepare for delivery.
2. If contractions occur due to the expected delivery date and have no regularity, they are mostly pseudo contractions. There is no need to be too nervous about this, as these are some normal physiological phenomena that are prone to occur after mid pregnancy.
3. In addition, if women during pregnancy only experience toothache without uterine contractions, they do not need to be too nervous. Usually, premature birth is not caused by uterine contractions due to toothache. But it is necessary to seek medical attention and examination for dental diseases in a timely manner, and to effectively treat and stop toothache to avoid affecting the physical health during pregnancy.
