Why does my mouth feel sour after pregnancy?

A woman's body will undergo many changes after pregnancy. She will eat a lot of food every day, but if it causes indigestion, she will have acid reflux and feel uncomfortable in her mouth. She should adjust her eating habits in time and eat some easily digestible food, such as fruits and vegetables. You can also add a glass of hot milk before going to bed at night, which can not only help sleep, but also supplement a certain amount of protein and trace elements.

After a woman becomes pregnant, her body will secrete a substance called human chorionic gonadotropin, which will cause some stomach discomfort, such as acid reflux, which is the gastric acid in the stomach flowing back into the esophagus, causing excessive sour taste in the mouth, stimulating the tongue to always secrete saliva, resulting in increased saliva and sour taste in the mouth.

Early pregnancy reaction: Sour mouth in pregnant women is caused by early pregnancy reaction. Most expectant mothers in the early stages of pregnancy will experience symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. If the mouth is not cleaned in time after vomiting, or if acid vomiting occurs, there will be a sour feeling in the mouth.

Stomach problems. A sour taste in the mouth of a pregnant woman may also be a sign of stomach problems. When the tongue coating is thick, there is bad breath, and the mouth is sour, it is considered to be caused by excess moisture in the gastrointestinal tract, which turns into heat over time. It is recommended to avoid cold and spicy food in daily diet. It is recommended to treat this disease with traditional Chinese medicine, based on syndrome differentiation and treatment, and take Chinese medicine that can strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness or cool dampness and heat, and the symptoms will naturally be relieved.
