Treatment for itchy belly during pregnancy

Nowadays, if pregnant women have itchy belly in their daily life, they should go to the hospital for examination in time, so that they can get better diagnosis results. So let us learn about the treatment methods of itchy belly in pregnant women and how we can relieve these itchy symptoms.

Treatment:

The first thing is to protect the fetus and strive for a safe delivery. Pregnant women should be able to detect abnormal fetal movements as soon as the fetus suffers from intrauterine hypoxia. Therefore, when itching occurs, pregnant women should strengthen the monitoring of fetal movements, three times a day for one hour each time, and record them correctly. Once you feel the fetal movement decrease, such as the cumulative number of fetal movements is less than 10 times within 12 hours, you should seek medical attention; if the fetal movement is zero in 12 hours, you need to see an emergency doctor. If the pregnancy can be safely carried out to 37 weeks, in order to remove the fetus from the dangerous intrauterine environment, the patient should be admitted to the hospital for induced labor, early delivery, and caesarean section if necessary. If the fetus can be delivered smoothly, it will grow up healthily and generally without any sequelae.

The second is to treat the itching symptomatically, such as using choleretics, antipruritic agents, sedatives and sleeping pills, etc.; Chinese medicine can be tried. Pregnant women should do the following: do not use scalding water or soapy water to wash; scratch as little as possible to reduce irritation; eat less spicy foods such as chili peppers, leeks, garlic, etc.; eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, supplement with adequate vitamins, and keep bowel movements smooth; do not take medication without authorization, beware of drug damage to the fetus or drug-induced dermatitis.

Cholestasis of pregnancy, also known as intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, pruritus gestationis, recurrent jaundice of pregnancy, etc., is a disease unique to pregnancy.

Under normal circumstances, bilirubin secreted by liver cells enters the gallbladder through the liver bile capillaries to form bile that assists gastrointestinal digestion and absorption. After eating, the stimulated gallbladder and bile duct contract, causing bile to be discharged into the duodenum. If bile accumulates in the liver due to poor excretion, bilirubin and bile acid will flow back into the blood, causing a series of symptoms.
