Newborns will have jaundice to some extent after birth. This is normal and usually recovers within 3 days. But there are also some cases with serious conditions that require medical treatment. Some mothers will use folk remedies to prevent jaundice. Many people think that it is unreasonable for pregnant women to eat eggs to cure jaundice. Let's take a look at whether pregnant women can eat eggs to cure jaundice? Let's pay more attention to the causes of jaundice. What is neonatal jaundice? Jaundice is actually not very serious. Neonatal jaundice refers to the abnormal bilirubin metabolism in newborns, which causes an increase in the total bilirubin level in the blood and the symptoms characterized by yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes and sclera. It is the most common clinical medical problem in newborns. The disease can be divided into physiological and physiologic types. Physiological jaundice refers to transient jaundice caused simply by the metabolic characteristics of bilirubin. It appears 2 to 3 days after birth, reaches a peak on the 4th to 6th day, and disappears on the 7th to 10th day. It lasts longer in premature infants and, except for mild loss of appetite, there are no other clinical manifestations. Can pregnant women eat eggs to treat jaundice? Fresh eggs have no practical effect on the treatment of jaundice. Neonatal jaundice is caused by excessive conversion of total bilirubin, metabolic disorders, and obstruction of the bile duct. Eggs are high-protein and high-cholesterol foods, and there is no scientific evidence to prove that they can prevent jaundice. As a novice parent, you should first check yourself to see if your baby is in a high-risk group for physiological jaundice. If not, then don't worry, just do scientific feeding and promote meconium excretion. The above is a detailed introduction to eating eggs to treat jaundice during pregnancy. In fact, many young mothers have elderly people in their families. Some of the elderly are relatively superstitious. They have many folk remedies for pregnancy, most of which are not scientifically proven. For the sake of their own health, mothers should not believe in these folk remedies. It is better to trust doctors and rest assured that the fetus is better. Pregnant mothers can eat some eggs in moderation, but it has no actual effect on treating jaundice. |
