What causes tinnitus in pregnant women?

During pregnancy, due to the increased secretion of corpus luteum copper, it is easy to cause swelling of the mucosa and cause symptoms such as tinnitus, allergic rhinitis, and nasal congestion. Generally, the symptoms will improve after delivery. However, there are many reasons for tinnitus. If the symptoms are serious, you should go to the ENT department for professional examination. However, if tinnitus does not affect your daily life, there is no need to worry too much.

The first thing to consider when pregnant women have tinnitus is whether it is caused by anemia, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, fever caused by various infections, etc. These diseases will not only cause the body to be in a state of exhaustion and cause tinnitus and headaches, but will also affect the function of the mother's key organs and the growth and development of the fetus.

Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose and treat it as soon as possible, dynamically monitor blood pressure and proteinuria, and eliminate symptoms of pregnancy-induced hypertension. In addition, you need to undergo a professional examination, such as an ENT examination, to check for abnormalities in the ear canal. If there are no abnormalities, a neurological examination should be performed to rule out brain diseases. Of course, for pregnant women, it is very important to ensure adequate sleep and a stable mental state. Traditional Chinese medicine's description of tinnitus in pregnant women:
