What are the reasons for a bitter taste in the mouth of pregnant women?

The mouth is where you can taste all kinds of flavors. If a pregnant woman feels a bitter taste in her mouth, she should pay attention, because some diseases will also have similar symptoms, so everyone should be alert to whether bitter taste in the mouth is a warning symptom. The reasons that cause bitter taste in the mouth of pregnant women can generally be divided into two types. One is disease factors, such as damp heat, inflammation, chronic diseases, etc., and the other is excessive stress in pregnant women. Pregnant women who have a bitter taste in their mouth may wish to relax and adjust their mood first, because many pregnant women do not react well at the beginning of pregnancy and feel a lot of pressure after becoming a mother.

[Why does a pregnant woman have a bitter mouth?]

During pregnancy, changes in hormone levels in the body will cause changes in the gastrointestinal system, loss of appetite, indigestion, and pregnant women will have a bitter taste in the mouth, which is mostly caused by getting angry or stress. So what is the cause of bitter mouth?

1. Bitter taste in the mouth of pregnant women caused by certain diseases

If a pregnant woman experiences bitter taste in the mouth, she must go to the hospital for treatment in time. Bitter taste in the mouth when getting up in the morning is mainly caused by damp heat. These include two types of bitter taste in the mouth, namely liver and gallbladder damp-heat and stomach heat. Bitter taste in the mouth may be caused by stomach heat caused by inflammation in the liver and gallbladder. Some people do not have inflammation in the liver and gallbladder, but because of dietary problems and eating too much spicy food, it can also cause bitter taste in the mouth. Some people with chronic diseases (such as chronic diabetes) also experience bitter taste in the mouth.

2. Excessive pressure from work or life

Studies have shown that pregnant women may have a bitter taste in their mouth when they wake up in the morning due to excessive pressure from work or study, anger, irritability, anxiety, fear, and anxiety. Although this condition is not a serious illness, it should not be taken lightly. If the bitter taste in the mouth is severe, it will not only affect the patient's mood, but also affect the appetite.

For this type of pregnant women who experience bitter taste in the mouth, they should increase their exercise appropriately, try to be less anxious, and think less about unhappy things. On the other hand, many women are mental workers. Due to high work pressure, improper and irregular diet, and sluggish gastrointestinal function after pregnancy, the food they eat stays in the gastrointestinal tract for too long, which can easily lead to damp heat and bitter taste in the mouth.
