What causes stomach pain when a pregnant woman lies on her left side?

Pregnant women are in an important period of their lives. Every pregnant woman shoulders the important task of human reproduction. We should have a scientific attitude towards various discomfort symptoms that occur during pregnancy. For example, most of the pain in pregnant women when lying on their left side is caused by eating too much, which increases the burden on the stomach. Some are caused by unbalanced hormone secretion in the body. The treatment method should be chosen according to the actual situation.

If you want to better regulate stomach discomfort symptoms in daily life, you should correct bad eating habits. Eat more light foods, and less fatty, sweet and irritating foods, such as foods containing alcohol and spices. Be careful about food that is too sour, too sweet, too salty, too bitter, or too spicy, and do not have a preference for any of the five flavors. Patients who have a smoking habit should quit smoking. Patients with long-term stomach pain should have three meals a day or snacks on time, with reasonable intervals between them. Patients with acute stomach pain should try to eat small meals frequently and should eat less or no snacks to reduce the burden on the stomach.

Your daily diet should provide foods rich in vitamins to help protect the gastric mucosa, improve its defense capabilities, and promote the repair of local lesions. After pregnancy, the tension of gastrointestinal smooth muscle decreases and the pyloric sphincter relaxes. It is recommended that pregnant mothers take B vitamins and stomachic and digestive tablets orally, pay attention to rest, eat easily digestible food, eat small meals frequently, chew slowly, avoid eating spicy and irritating food and raw, cold and unclean food, do more outdoor exercise, get more sun to promote calcium absorption, supplement calcium and vitamins appropriately, and have regular prenatal checkups.

Some stomach pains are caused by gastritis or functional organs. For these symptoms, you should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Because it is not recommended for pregnant women to take medication during pregnancy, we generally adopt a conditioning treatment plan. This can ensure the health of pregnant women while not affecting the normal development of the fetus. For patients who often experience stomach discomfort, it is recommended to start conditioning by changing their daily eating habits.
