Explanation:
je pense que HDG se réfère à "hormone de grossesse", un peu comme HCG

Explanation:
I think these might be the patient reporting on the location of pain short for "Hauteur du dos" and "Hauteur du dos gauche". I note that the capitalisation is different in the heading from that in the text quoted. As it might also be short for "hanche droite" and "hanches droite et gauche", I suggest it would be best to refer this back to the client.

The contraction might be felt as referred pain, just as period pains can be felt in the thighs. However, that is an illusion based on how the brain interprets signals from the nerves.

Notes to answerer
Asker: The capitalisation should be: HD and HDg.

Asker: I am going to flag this up to the client. However, note that in the second occurrence, there is a colon, HD: spasme uterine. Would the contraction be localised in a particular anatomical area?
