What is symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD)?

The term symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD) refers to the pain and instability in the pelvis during pregnancy. This pain may affect the joints in the pelvis, including the pubic symphysis joint in the front and the sacroiliac joint at the back of the pelvis.

The term symphysis pubis dysfunction is no longer used because it wrongly indicates the involvement of just one joint, the pubic symphysis. Thus, it has been replaced by the term pelvic girdle pain or PGP. It affects about one in five pregnant women and may lead to significant pain and discomfort if not effectively managed.

The cause of PGP may be explained by the various changes occurring in pregnancy, including the laxity of ligaments and widening of the pelvic joints in preparation for childbirth. These changes occur under the influence of hormonal adjustments (such as increased levels of the hormone, relaxin) during pregnancy. The growing baby in the womb puts a mechanical strain on the pelvis to further exacerbate the condition.

What are the symptoms of symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD)?

The symptoms of SPD or pelvic girdle pain may vary depending on the severity of the condition. Pain may occur at any stage during pregnancy but is more common during advance stage pregnancy.

Symptoms generally include:

Pain in the
