What should I do if the whites of my eyes turn yellow and bloodshot during my fifth month of pregnancy?

The hormone levels in women's bodies will change after they become pregnant. Some people's whites of their eyes suddenly turn yellow and red bloodshot appear five months after pregnancy. This condition may be caused by congestion of the eye's capillaries. When you are pregnant, you must pay more attention to rest, drink plenty of water, and try to avoid fatigue and staying up late. Let’s take a look at what to do if the whites of your eyes turn yellow during your fifth month of pregnancy.

Because of busy work, frequent overtime, and late sleep, the whites of my eyes have turned yellow and have bloodshot, but there are currently no other symptoms. In this case, the first consideration is that it is caused by conjunctival congestion, which is related to lack of rest and excessive stress. The symptoms you have are probably related to excessive stress, fatigue, and lack of sleep, so it is recommended that you use Runshu to treat the local area, then get more rest and avoid eating spicy, raw, cold, and irritating foods! You will recover slowly.

This symptom is called visual fatigue syndrome or visual screen syndrome.

Generally, the following points should be noted:

(1) Avoid operating the computer for long periods of time and take breaks in between. Usually, you should take a 5-10 minute break after operating the computer for 1 hour. You can look into the distance or do eye exercises during the break.

(2) Maintain a good working posture. Maintain the most appropriate posture, with both eyes looking straight ahead or slightly downward at the screen. This will relax the neck muscles and minimize the area of ​​the eyeballs exposed to the air.

(3) Maintain an appropriate working distance. The distance between your eyes and the computer screen should be kept at least 60 cm.

If the whites of the eyes turn yellow, there are two types of symptoms. One is called yellow sclera. One is yellowing of the conjunctiva. If there is a problem with yellow sclera, then you are worried about liver and gallbladder problems, but at the same time, yellow urine and yellow skin may also occur. If the conjunctiva is yellow and bloodshot, there are two situations, one of which is called palpebral fissure. One is called the conjunctival fat body. It is impossible for both of these two types of patients to have yellow urine and skin at the same time.

If the sclera is yellow, it is not an ophthalmological problem and you need to go to the hepatobiliary department for diagnosis and treatment. If it is just simple yellowing of the conjunctiva with slight bloodshot eyes and no other discomfort or symptoms, you can just ignore it. If you feel uncomfortable, you may have inflammation and should be treated accordingly. It's best to see an ophthalmologist.
