Duration of piriformis syndrome during pregnancy
Piriformis syndrome during pregnancy persists until the trigger for the pressure load has disappeared, i.e. until the woman has given birth. Only then is the piriformis muscle relieved and the symptoms disappear. However, medical and physiotherapeutic treatment during pregnancy can improve the symptoms and ease the pain.

Which doctor treats Piriformis Syndrome during pregnancy?
If there is pain in the buttocks that radiates to the thigh, piriformis syndrome is suspected and the pregnant woman should consult a doctor. A family doctor will write the referral to an orthopedic surgeon who can make the diagnosis. A physiotherapist or a sports doctor also treats piriformis syndrome during pregnancy.
