Pregnancy bile stasis skin picture

Pregnant women may experience eczema and cholestasis, which are two diseases that pregnant women are very likely to suffer from during pregnancy. However, because these two diseases have some similarities, many people confuse the two. In fact, there is a huge difference between eczema in pregnant women and cholestasis. Let me give you a detailed introduction to the differences between eczema in pregnant women and cholestasis.

The differences between maternal eczema and cholestasis are as follows:

1. The causes of the disease are different: the main causes of eczema in pregnant women are microbial infection, environmental factors, dietary factors and so on. The main cause of cholestasis in pregnant women is that the embryo produces androgen during pregnancy, which changes the permeability of the cytoplasm and affects the metabolism of bile. Another reason is that the enzymes required for bilirubin metabolism are restricted, affecting the metabolism of bile. In addition, genetic inheritance, environment, race and contraceptives can also cause the occurrence of cholestasis.

2. Different susceptible groups: Pregnant women who are susceptible to eczema include pregnant women with allergic constitutions, pregnant women with chronic infectious diseases, pregnant women with varicose veins, pregnant women with nervousness and anxiety, etc. The main risk groups for gestational cholestasis are those with a history of gestational cholestasis in their families, pregnant women undergoing artificial insemination, pregnant women carrying twins or twins, and pregnant women with a history of gestational cholestasis.

3. Different itching locations: The locations of eczema in pregnant women can be all over the body of pregnant women, including the face, head, feet, calves, around the ears, elbows and other common locations. The onset of cholestasis in pregnant women starts from the palms and soles of the pregnant women, and spreads to the proximal part of the body. In severe cases, it may even develop to the face of the pregnant women.

This is my introduction to the difference between maternal eczema and cholestasis. I believe that after reading the introduction, you will have a more comprehensive understanding of this issue. Finally, I would also like to remind everyone that whether it is cholestasis or maternal eczema, it is very harmful to the health of pregnant women, so no matter which symptoms occur, it is necessary to pay attention to it and treat it in time.
