Why do pregnant women have a lot of eye mucus?

Excessive eye mucus in pregnant women may be caused by environmental factors or some eye diseases. Symptoms need to be improved promptly.

1. Environmental factors: If the outside environment is relatively dry, and the patient drinks less water, or the indoor temperature is relatively high when sleeping at night, it may cause excessive loss of water in the body and cannot be replenished in time, which will lead to an increase in the patient's eye mucus. You can drink more warm water, or eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, keep the indoor air circulating, and put a humidifier in the room when you sleep at night, which will help moisten the air and improve symptoms.

2. Eye diseases: When keratitis and conjunctivitis occur, the repeated stimulation of these inflammations may lead to increased eye mucus in the eye area, accompanied by tears, swelling and pain in the eyes. Generally, you need to go to the hospital's ophthalmology department for examination in time. If necessary, you can use some anti-inflammatory eye drops under the guidance of a doctor, such as levofloxacin eye drops to relieve symptoms.

It is not recommended to use medications privately during pregnancy. When using medications, you need to follow the doctor's advice. At the same time, you should also go to the hospital regularly for abdominal ultrasound examinations to understand the growth and development of the fetus in a timely manner.
