Pregnant women suffer in silence with a common problem and don't have to 'put up with it'

Notícias de Coimbra9 September 2026 at 11:12

Pregnant women silently endure symptoms such as pain, itching, discomfort or anal bleeding during pregnancy, especially from a certain stage of pregnancy. These signs are associated with a common problem that affects many women during this period.

The article indicates that pregnant women often feel they need to simply 'put up with' these symptoms, suffering without seeking help or appropriate treatment for the condition.

The condition in question, although common among pregnant women, continues to be a taboo subject, which leads many future mothers not to talk about the problem with their healthcare professionals.

The text aims to raise awareness about the fact that these complaints should not be ignored and that there are treatment and relief options available for pregnant women who suffer from this problem.

The BepiColombo spacecraft successfully separated from the transfer module that propelled it during eight years of travel toward Mercury. The separation occurred at approximately 200 million kilometres from Earth, when the spacecraft was already "close" to the smallest planet in the Solar System. The transfer module, which served simultaneously as engine and power source, is now alone in an orbit around the Sun, while BepiColombo continues toward the final phase of its mission, destined to study Mercury in detail for the first time in history.
