What are the treatments for vitiligo in pregnant women?

Vitiligo is a very stubborn disease. The treatment of this skin disease is relatively difficult because it is easy to recur and patients often cannot find the direction of treatment. The causes of vitiligo mainly include several aspects, such as excessive fatigue of patients, congenital skin diseases, and family genetic factors. As long as vitiligo patients pay attention to these after pregnancy, it can be guaranteed that vitiligo will not be transmitted to the baby and will not worsen.

What should patients with vitiligo pay attention to during pregnancy

1. Correct your view: Vitiligo is hereditary to a certain extent, but patients and their families do not need to worry that vitiligo will be passed on to the next generation, as the probability is very small.

2. Keep a calm mind: Experts say that vitiligo itself has no direct effect on reproductive ability, so patients with vitiligo should not be nervous during pregnancy and should relax, otherwise it may have a certain impact on the normal development of the fetus.

3. Use drugs with caution: Patients with vitiligo should avoid using drugs that may affect the fetus before or during pregnancy, and should use them with caution or not at all if their safety for the fetus is unclear.

4. Balanced nutrition: Due to the autoimmune and metabolic abnormalities of vitiligo patients, especially the excessive food abstentions of patients in the long-term warning stage of the disease, some vitamins, trace elements, proteins and other nutrients in the body are relatively lacking or insufficient. Pregnancy is the stage when the body's demand for nutrients increases, so the nutrients needed for fetal development should be supplemented in time.

1. Pregnant women with vitiligo should eat more peanuts, black sesame seeds, walnuts, soy products and animal livers in their daily diet, eat less irritating foods, and avoid alcohol, raw garlic, mutton, fish, shrimp and other seafood. Experts say that although many women like to eat sour foods during pregnancy, these sour foods are often rich in vitamin C. Foods such as oranges, kiwis, hawthorns, bayberries, etc. must be eaten in moderation.

2. The psychological factors of pregnant women with vitiligo will also change constantly during the treatment process, which will have a great impact on the recovery of the disease and the health of the fetus. Therefore, expectant mothers should try to maintain a happy mood and exercise moderately to improve their own resistance.

3. The treatment of vitiligo during pregnancy is directly related to the health of the fetus in the body. If not treated properly, it may cause fetal malformations. Therefore, pregnant women with vitiligo should choose the right treatment method and avoid the use of large amounts of drugs as much as possible.

We all know that vitiligo is hereditary to a certain extent. If it is not treated or cared for properly during pregnancy, the disease may be passed on to the baby. For the healthy growth of the next generation, patients must keep the above points in mind and follow the doctor's advice to actively cure the disease. Finally, I wish you a smooth birth of a healthy baby and a speedy recovery.
