What to do if you have pancreatitis during pregnancy

If you suffer from pancreatitis during pregnancy, don't panic too much. You should stay calm, adjust your emotions, and go to the hospital for relevant treatment and examination in time. However, when taking medication, try not to take medication that is not good for pregnancy. You must follow the doctor's advice. In terms of diet, you should pay attention to eating small meals and gradually increase the amount of food.

1. Fasting is the first measure to be taken when pancreatitis occurs. During the fasting period, patients often become listless and sometimes even irritable due to abdominal pain, dry mouth, and inability to eat. In view of the patient's psychology, we should patiently explain to him/her that eating will stimulate the pancreas to secrete pancreatic juice and increase the pressure in the pancreatic duct, which is not conducive to the elimination of inflammation and the body's recovery. At the same time, we should do a good job of oral care and pay attention to oral hygiene, because the secretion and accumulation of saliva not only causes bad breath in the mouth, but also causes bacteria to breed and cause oral infection. If the patient can take care of himself, try to let him brush his teeth once or twice a day. When your mouth is dry, you can rinse your mouth with clean water to improve the environment inside your mouth.

For patients who are in a coma or unable to take care of themselves, oral care should be performed twice a day. During the operation, attention should be paid to the protection of the oral mucosa. The gauze ball should be wrung dry before being placed in the patient's mouth to prevent the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia. After the condition of conscious patients improves, they can eat a small amount of low-fat food under the guidance of a doctor, and then gradually increase their food intake.

2. The air in the patient's room should be well circulated, and he should pay attention to the combination of work and rest. The intake of fat and starch in the diet should be controlled, and overeating, especially high-fat meals and alcoholism, should be avoided, as they are extremely harmful to the patient's body. Try to provide patients with a low-fat, non-irritating, easily digestible diet to prevent recurrence of the disease.
