Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction - SPD Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction, often referred to as SPD for short, is a pain in the are. Well actually it is a pain in the groin, hips, back, stomach and are. It is caused during pregnancy by the production in the body of the hormone Relaxin which softens the ligaments in your pelvis in order to make your baby's passage through your pelvis as easy as possible.
