What is the pain in the ribs under the chest during pregnancy?

The ribs, thoracic vertebrae, and sternum form the thorax, which can protect the main organs in the chest from external force damage. Rib pain is a common clinical symptom. During pregnancy, people often complain of rib pain under the chest. At this time, medical history needs to be asked and physical examination is needed. There are many reasons for pain: First, trauma. When soft tissue injuries such as rib fractures can be caused by external force, MRI is required to determine whether a fracture has occurred; Second, whether it is costochondritis or multiple intercostal neuralgia; third, whether the patient has multiple myeloma or bone metastases from some tumors; and fourth, whether the patient shows herpes zoster, which is distributed along the nerve route.
