Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction - SPD Posted By : Alice Peters



Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction, often referred to as SPD for short, is a pain in the ar*e. Well actually it is a pain in the groin, hips, back, stomach and ar*e. It is caused during pregnancy by the production in the body of the hormone Relaxin which softens the ligaments in your pelvis in order to make your baby's passage through your pelvis as easy as possible. Although it is unsure why, some women produce too much of this hormone. This causes the ligaments to soften too much which allows for increased movement in the pelvis. This can lead to a great deal of pain and discomfort.
