Round Ligament Pain (RLP) is pain due to pathologies associated with the round ligament of the uterus, known in Latin as ''ligamentum teres uteri''. There are at least 2 other round ligaments in the human body, the round ligament of the liver (''ligamentum teres hepatis'') and the round ligament of the head of the femur (''ligamentum teres femoris''). The round ligament of the uterus goes from the pelvis, passes through the internal abdominal ring, and runs along the inguinal canal to the labia majora. It is the structure that holds the uterus suspended inside the abdominal cavity.〔Aguilera PA. (Pregnancy, Round Ligament Pain http://www.webmd.com/baby/pregnancy-round-ligament-pain) WebMD. Retrieved 2010-01-25〕 RLP is one of the most common discomforts of pregnancy〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/health/roundligamentpain.asp )〕 and usually starts at the second trimester of gestation and continues until delivery. It usually resolves completely after delivery although cases of postpartum RLP, e.g. RLP that persisted for a few days after delivery have been reported. RLP also occurs in non-pregnant women. ==Symptoms== The most common symptoms of RLP are: *Sudden pain in the lower abdomen, usually in the right side of the pelvic area that can extend to the groin. *Shooting abdominal pain when performing sudden movements or physical exercise. Pain is sudden, intermittent and lasts only for a few seconds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Round Pain Ligament )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Round ligament pain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
