Treatment and nursing of swollen calf in pregnant women

In fact, in daily life, many pregnant women do not pay attention to their physical health and always do things that are not conducive to their health, especially when their calves are swollen, so let us learn about the treatment and care of swollen calves of pregnant women.

Treatment and care:

1. Eat enough protein. Make sure to eat animal foods such as livestock, poultry, meat, fish, shrimp, eggs, milk, and bean foods every day. This type of food is rich in high-quality protein. Pregnant women with anemia should also eat animal liver 2 to 3 times a week to supplement iron.

2. Eat enough fruits and vegetables. Vegetables and fruits contain many vitamins and trace elements necessary for the human body. They can enhance the body's resistance, strengthen metabolism, and also have detoxification and diuretic effects. Pregnant women should not forget to eat vegetables and fruits every day.

3. Don’t eat too salty food. When you have edema, you should eat light food and avoid eating too salty food, especially pickles, to prevent the edema from getting worse.

4. Control water intake. Pregnant women with severe edema should control their water intake appropriately.

5. Eat less or no food that is difficult to digest and easy to cause bloating (such as fried glutinous rice cakes, sweet potatoes, onions, potatoes, etc.) to avoid causing abdominal distension, poor blood circulation, and aggravating edema.

The above article gives you a detailed introduction to the treatment and care of swollen calves in pregnant women. I believe everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding, so in daily life, if such a situation occurs, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.
