What to do if stomach problems recur during pregnancy?

After a woman becomes pregnant, the burden on her body increases dramatically due to the presence of a baby in her belly, making it more likely for her to experience adverse reactions or recurrence of some diseases. Among them, the recurrence of gastric disease after pregnancy is a relatively common situation. In this case, people need to pay special attention to it and take timely measures to treat it. Here we will introduce what to do if gastric disease recurs during pregnancy?

Pregnant women should not take medicine to treat stomach problems in the early stages of pregnancy. If acute gastritis occurs during pregnancy, it can usually heal itself through conservative treatments such as fasting and fluid replacement. If vomiting occurs, vitamin B6 can be taken. If chronic stomach problems occur after three months of pregnancy, severe cases (such as persistent stomach pain that cannot be relieved or a history of gastric ulcer, suspected recurrence of gastric ulcer, which may cause gastric bleeding) can be treated with Daxila.

Daxi not only protects the gastric mucosa, but also effectively suppresses acid. It is a commonly used drug for neutralizing gastric acid. Its chemical composition is alkaline carbonate of aluminum and magnesium. After oral administration, magnesium aluminum carbonate acts directly on the lesion site, and tests have shown that it is not absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. Because it is not absorbed into the blood, the effect on the fetus is very small.

Other stomach medicines, such as acid inhibitors (such as cimetidine, omeprazole, etc.) and gastrointestinal motility drugs (such as metoclopramide, metoclopramide), are prohibited or should be used with caution even in the late stages of pregnancy.

About half of women will experience early pregnancy reactions around 6 weeks of pregnancy, sometimes also with nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, bloating and other symptoms. However, this phenomenon should be treated differently from stomach problems. Those with severe early pregnancy reactions can generally take appropriate amounts of vitamin B6 or supplement with foods rich in vitamin B6, but it is best not to use stomach medicine.
