Pregnant woman with bitter mouth

Many pregnant women will experience a bitter taste in their mouths. There are many reasons for this. For example, getting a sore throat can cause a bitter taste in the mouth. Eating inappropriate food can also cause a bitter taste in the mouth. Increased bile secretion after the gallbladder is stimulated can also cause a bitter taste in the mouth. Due to the special physical conditions of pregnant women, they cannot take medicine based on their own judgment when any symptoms occur. They should follow the doctor's advice. Let's take a look at what to do if a pregnant woman has a bitter taste in her mouth?

1. Bitter taste in the mouth of pregnant women caused by certain diseases

If a pregnant woman experiences bitter taste in the mouth, she must go to the hospital for treatment in time. Bitter taste in the mouth when getting up in the morning is mainly caused by damp heat. These include two types of bitter taste in the mouth, namely liver and gallbladder damp-heat and stomach heat. Bitter taste in the mouth may be caused by stomach heat caused by inflammation in the liver and gallbladder. Some people do not have inflammation in the liver and gallbladder, but because of dietary problems and eating too much spicy food, it can also cause bitter taste in the mouth. Some people with chronic diseases (such as chronic diabetes) also experience bitter taste in the mouth.

2. Excessive pressure from work or life

Pregnant women may also have a bitter taste in the mouth when they wake up in the morning because of excessive pressure from work or study. Anger, irritability, anxiety, and fear may also cause a bitter taste in the mouth. Although this condition is not a serious illness, it should not be taken lightly. If the bitter taste in the mouth is severe, it will not only affect the patient's mood, but also affect the appetite. For this type of pregnant women who experience bitter taste in the mouth, they should increase their exercise appropriately, try to be less anxious, and think less about unhappy things. On the other hand, many women are mental workers. Due to high work pressure, improper and irregular diet, and sluggish gastrointestinal function after pregnancy, the food they eat stays in the gastrointestinal tract for too long, which can easily lead to damp heat and bitter taste in the mouth.

What to do if pregnant woman has bitter mouth

1. If the pregnant mother has good digestion, don’t worry about it. The more you think about it, the more painful it will be. With the gradual changes in endocrine system, the situation will generally improve after four months.

2. If a pregnant woman has severe symptoms of bitter taste in the mouth, she should go to the hospital for examination in time and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Never take medicine privately, otherwise it will have a certain impact on the fetus. You can also choose to take some mixed vitamin and mineral supplements specially for pregnant women. Pregnant mothers can take vitamin D tablets under the guidance of a doctor. They can be taken for any cause of bitter taste in the mouth. The dosage is 2-3 tablets each time, dissolved under the tongue. Generally speaking, if the bitter taste in the mouth is not severe, taking the medicine 2-3 times can relieve it. Even for severe bitter taste in the mouth, taking the medicine for 3-4 days will have a certain effect.

3. If pregnant mothers have a bitter taste in the mouth in the morning due to bad living habits, taking vitamin D tablets will only work temporarily and will not cure the root cause. Therefore, those who have bad living habits must correct them in time, such as smoking and drinking, and pay attention to oral hygiene.

4. Make sure you get enough rest and try not to stress yourself. Pregnant mothers can pay more attention in their daily lives, eat regularly, exercise moderately, and reduce anxiety, all of which can alleviate the symptoms of bitter taste in the mouth.
