Pregnancy is one of the most cherished moments of life for couples. It is a wonderful journey but at the same time it has some challenges too. There are a few health conditions that impact a pregnancy. It is important to know how to stay away from them or get rid of them. IVF experts of the best IVF clinic in Delhi – Gunjan IVF World share a small article on one such common condition that most women come across, i.e. leg cramps.
What are leg cramps?
“There could be many reasons for sudden leg cramps during pregnancy. Some of the most common causes can be hormonal changes in the body. They could be a result of compression of blood vessels due to fetal growth or may be a result of lack of magnesium and calcium in the diet,” mentioned Dr. Garima Sharma, Consultant and Center In-Charge of the most talked about IVF centre in Janakpuri – Gunjan IVF World.
How to avoid leg cramps?
“At Gunjan IVF World, we always tell our patients that simple modifications in lifestyle can help in avoiding leg cramps. We recommend not to stand for long hours or keep legs in a dangling position. Wearing compressive stocking can do wonders,” says Dr. Aastha Raheja, Consultant at the best IVF clinic in Indirapuram – Gunjan IVF World.
Tips to treat leg cramps
“In case of a sudden leg cramp, make sure you flex your legs as mush as possible. You should gently massage the cramping area and muscles surrounding to restore blood blow, oxygen and nutrients to the muscle,” recommends Dr. Shubhda Gupta, gynecologist Noida and Consultant at a well- known IVF centre in Noida – Gunjan IVF World.
“Another effective way to treat leg cramps is by rotating the application of ice and heat to the affected area. Ice helps to ease the pain while heat relaxes the muscle and increases blood flow,” stated Dr. Anshu Dhar, Consultant at the best IVF clinic in Indirapuram – Gunjan IVF World.
“Don’t forget to include magnesium and calcium in the diet. The best way to do that is by including banana with milk to your diet,” concluded Dr. Gunjan Gupta.
