Causes of stomach bloating in pregnant women

Many pregnant women usually feel a kind of bloating in their stomachs when they are pregnant. If it happens to us normally, I believe many people will not care about such a phenomenon, but if it happens to pregnant women, then the situation is different. At this time, a life is being nurtured, and each of us as parents does not want this little life to have any risks. So what exactly causes bloating in the stomach of pregnant women?

Due to the changes in hormones in the body during pregnancy, the acidic contents in the stomach are easily refluxed from the stomach, causing irritation to the mucosa. It is recommended that you eat small meals frequently and take some antacids as prescribed by your doctor. It is best to go to the hospital to check your stomach.

This situation may be related to pregnancy reaction, gastritis or indigestion.

You can try vitamin B6 and lactase and other drugs to see if it can get better. It has little effect on the fetus. If the effect is not good, you need to go to the hospital for treatment in time.

Causes of stomach bloating

1. Indigestion: Some patients have poor physical constitution and insufficient gastric motility, and often suffer from bloating due to eating certain irritating foods or foods that are difficult to digest. In addition, if the intestinal flora is unbalanced, a lot of waste gas will easily accumulate in the intestine, which can also cause bloating.

2. Organic diseases: such as gastrointestinal tumors, chronic gastritis, gastric ulcers, gastric ptosis, gastric dilatation and pyloric obstruction, can all lead to gastrointestinal gas accumulation, manifested as abdominal bloating and abdominal gas retention. When there is too much gas accumulation in the stomach and intestines, the patient may feel abdominal discomfort, manifested by belching, bloating, and hyperactive bowel sounds.

3. Functional diseases: such as indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome with constipation, neurosis, etc. Most of these conditions are serious and should not be taken lightly.

4. Gastrointestinal diseases: such as chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, enteritis, intestinal obstruction, habitual constipation, etc.

5. Gastrointestinal dysfunction: manifested as gas absorption disorder and gas excretion disorder in the gastrointestinal tract. Due to certain reasons, the gastrointestinal motility is weakened or disappears, resulting in the inability of gas in the body to be discharged. The gas in the body accumulates more and more, resulting in bloating.

6. Excessive stomach acid: Excess gastric acid in the stomach will produce carbon dioxide after neutralization with pancreatic juice, causing bloating and burping.

There are many reasons that cause bloating in pregnant women's stomachs, and these reasons have a great impact on our lives. Therefore, timely improvement of these factors is the most critical to treating the disease. Also remember to eat more foods with good digestive function when treating the disease. Otherwise, if you continue to eat foods that are not easy to digest, then this phenomenon will become more serious. At the same time, psychological activity is also very important.
