What should a pregnant woman do if she has gastroenteritis?

Among various anorectal surgical diseases, gastroenteritis is a relatively complicated one. The disease has a long development cycle and a high rate of canceration. If gastroenteritis is suffered from for a long time without timely treatment, it can easily cause intestinal cancer and gastric cancer. If the patient is pregnant, in addition to affecting gastrointestinal function, it will also pose a direct threat to the fetus. Therefore, if a pregnant woman is diagnosed with gastroenteritis, she needs to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Let’s take a look at several commonly used methods for treating gastroenteritis in pregnant women.

1. Anti-infective drugs: Salicyloylsulfapyridine is effective in treating various types of gastroenteritis and preventing complications. Some cause nausea, vomiting, headache, rash, granulocytopenia, anemia and poor liver function. If it is ineffective or has adverse reactions, metronidazole can be used instead. Neomycin and phthalidazole are also effective.

2. Hormone therapy: Adrenal cortical hormones, hydrocortisone and prednisone can improve the general condition, alleviate the course of the disease, reduce the number of bowel movements, alleviate recurrent symptoms and increase appetite. However, the effect is not good for some patients, and it may cause ulcer perforation, bleeding and slow healing. It is now believed that the scope of application is small. It can significantly alleviate symptoms and improve the condition of patients with acute outbreaks or severe early attacks. However, the effect is not satisfactory for long-term recurrent attacks. The corticotropin unit is dissolved in glucose solution and dripped intravenously. After the symptoms improve, it is switched to intramuscular injection. Hydrocortisone can be given intravenously, and the dosage can be gradually reduced after symptoms are relieved. Corticosteroids are better than cortisone in relieving symptoms, but are not as effective as cortisone in maintaining relief. This treatment should not be continued for more than 2 weeks if there is no improvement in symptoms.

3. Pay attention to the intake of protein and vitamins. In your daily diet, you should appropriately choose some easily digestible high-quality protein foods, such as fish, eggs, and beans.
