What to do if you have hiccups in early pregnancy

There will be many subtle changes in the body of a pregnant woman. Many people who are not careful cannot detect the abnormalities at all, but some pregnant women are overly worried. Now we often hear pregnant women say that they will have hiccups during pregnancy. We all know that hiccups are difficult to eliminate, and hiccups are also very uncomfortable. If a pregnant woman hiccups frequently, it is a big deal and must be treated in time. Let’s take a look at the treatment methods for hiccups in pregnant women.

Do you all have hiccups in your daily life? Does hiccups make us very uncomfortable? Especially many pregnant women will have hiccups. We should pay attention to what we should do when pregnant women hiccup. We should learn some good methods to treat hiccups in time to avoid affecting the body.

Frequent hiccups during pregnancy may be caused by:

1) During pregnancy, gastric acid secretion decreases, gastrointestinal motility weakens, and there are varying degrees of digestive dysfunction, which causes hiccups.

2) In the late pregnancy, as the fetus and uterus gradually grow, the diaphragm rises and hiccups occur.

3) Other digestive system diseases cannot be ruled out.

It is recommended to go to the hospital to check the following items:

1. Department of Gastroenterology Patients with abdominal distension accompanied by heat and acid reflux, which worsens after eating or have diarrhea, should go to the Department of Gastroenterology.

2. General Surgery Patients with acute abdominal distension, abdominal pain, vomiting, or no flatulence or bowel movements should be referred to the General Surgery Department. Patients with chronic abdominal distension accompanied by right upper abdominal pain, which worsens after eating greasy food, should also refer to general surgery.

3. Patients with frequent abdominal distension, back pain, and excessive leucorrhea should visit the gynecology department.

4. Patients with abdominal distension accompanied by aversion to oil and jaundice should visit the hepatitis department.

5. Patients with frequent abdominal distension and low fever should be referred to the Tuberculosis Department.

6. Cardiology: People with a history of heart disease and frequent abdominal distension should visit the cardiology department.

7. Neurology patients with lower limb paralysis who often have abdominal distension should go to the neurology department for treatment.

Stomach bloating and pain are very common gastrointestinal problems. Sometimes you just need to do some exercise or walk to relieve them, but sometimes the pain is so severe that you roll around in bed. Moreover, as long as it is abdominal pain, the symptoms are often similar, which often confuses people, not knowing whether it is an ulcer or a stomach upset. The most obvious symptom of abdominal bloating is a hollow sound when the abdomen is percussed. (Of course this part needs to be diagnosed by a doctor)

How to avoid bloating?

Most of the flatulence is caused by diet. First of all, you must change your eating habits:

When eating, chew slowly and don't eat too much at one time.

Avoid drinking carbonated drinks and chewing gum, and it is best not to drink beverages with a straw, as these will invisibly increase gas intake.

Eat less foods or desserts containing fructose or sorbitol (sugar), as these are also the culprits of gas production.

Bean products must be cooked until they are thoroughly cooked before eating, because beans that are too hard are not only difficult to digest but can also easily cause bloating.

Some people are particularly prone to gas or bloating after certain foods, so they must avoid certain specific foods based on past experience.

Don't sit on the sofa after a meal. Get up and walk around, wash the dishes, or take a short walk. Gentle and gentle exercise can help digestion.

The above methods can help pregnant women improve the hiccups, but you must remember that pregnant women cannot take medicine blindly. If the hiccups are caused by a disease, then you need to follow the doctor's instructions to help yourself treat the disease. If the hiccups are caused by indigestion, then it is recommended to eat more light and easily digestible food during this period, so that the symptoms can be appropriately relieved.
