Does pancreatitis affect pregnancy?

Pancreatitis is a disease that can affect pregnancy, mainly because it can affect the secretion of insulin, which can cause high blood sugar levels in patients and lead to symptoms of hyperglycemia during pregnancy. I hope everyone should receive timely treatment for pancreatitis. We need to treat the symptom of pancreatitis before preparing for pregnancy to avoid fetal malformations and Down syndrome during pregnancy.

1. It may have a certain impact on the fetus, but the specific situation varies from person to person. You can go to a regular hospital for prenatal and postnatal care and closely observe the development of the fetus. It is recommended that you do a Down syndrome screening at 15-20 weeks of pregnancy to check the intellectual development of the fetus, and do a four-dimensional color ultrasound examination within 22-26 weeks of pregnancy to understand whether the fetus has gross malformations and the development of major organs.

2. A 20-year-old pregnant woman with a history of pancreatitis asked about nutritional issues during the recovery period.

If pancreatic function has fully recovered, you can eat normally. However, if you are in the recovery period, it is recommended to eat easily digestible food. You can drink milk in small amounts. However, if you have indigestion such as bloating, it is recommended not to drink it

3. Pancreatitis is mainly caused by the backflow of pancreatic juice and bile into the pancreas due to bile duct obstruction, which causes the pancreas to digest itself and thus leads to some symptoms. It usually occurs at night after eating greasy food or drinking a lot of alcohol. It is an acute and serious disease, and severe pancreatitis may be life-threatening.

4. The treatment is mainly to inhibit the secretion of pancreatic juice, including fasting and drinking and some drug inhibition, as well as to prevent infection, relieve spasms and relieve pain. Pancreatitis is not actually an inflammation in the traditional sense, and it is not a bacterial infection in the early stages. This is a comprehensive treatment and cannot be cured by any one medicine. Hospitalization must be considered.

Related introduction on the question of whether pancreatitis will affect pregnancy;

If treated in time, it will not affect future pregnancy, but generally it will have no effect on the future. However, if not treated, it will not only affect pregnancy, but also the female body. If it has no impact on future pregnancy, it is recommended that you get treatment before pregnancy. In this treatment, you need to go to the hospital for regular check-ups. Regular check-ups at the hospital are to regularly track your physical condition.

During the treatment, you need to pay attention to your diet. You cannot eat spicy food, food containing pigments, or food that is too salty. Your diet must be based on light flavors and you can supplement nutrients appropriately.

Of course, if you have surgery, you need to be careful and go to the hospital for regular check-ups after the surgery to see how your body is recovering. If you have any discomfort, you must go to the hospital for check-ups and receive treatment in time.

It is important to maintain a happy mood. In fact, we should all know that a good attitude is extremely beneficial to the body. Moreover, studies have shown that the mood will affect the recovery of the disease to a certain extent, so it is recommended to maintain a good attitude.

Note:

During the treatment, you can take medicine, drink Chinese medicine, undergo surgery, etc. The methods need to vary from person to person. You cannot have bad habits such as smoking and drinking, cannot stay up late, etc. You can drink a glass of pure milk before going to bed to ensure quality sleep. I wish you good health and happiness.

Regarding the content introduced above, I believe everyone should clearly understand that patients with pancreatitis cannot prepare for conception. They need to deal with pancreatitis before conceiving. Moreover, pancreatitis during pregnancy will also affect the development of the fetus. I hope couples can pay attention to it.
