Stool color after bile stasis in pregnant women

When a woman is pregnant, it is more likely to develop cholestasis. Although the harm to pregnant women is not too great, it has a great impact on the fetus. If cholestasis occurs in the late pregnancy, it may cause the death of the fetus in severe cases. So, what are the symptoms of bile stasis in pregnant women?

When pregnant women have cholestasis, they usually experience itching, and it is itching without skin damage. About 80% of pregnant women with cholestasis will experience itching after 30 weeks of pregnancy, and some pregnant women will experience itching earlier. The itching varies in severity and lasts longer, being milder during the day and worse at night.

The itching caused by cholestasis usually starts on the palms and soles of the feet, then gradually spreads to the proximal part of the body. In severe cases, it may spread to the face. This kind of itching feeling usually lasts until delivery. The itching can usually be relieved within 1-2 days after the baby is born, and it will disappear within a week after the baby is born at the latest.

Cholestasis in pregnant women can cause mild jaundice, but jaundice will not worsen as the pregnancy progresses. When a pregnant woman develops jaundice, it will have a great impact on the fetus, because jaundice is likely to cause meconium staining of the amniotic fluid, which can easily cause fetal suffocation, thereby increasing the mortality rate of the fetus.

When pregnant women are pregnant, various conditions may occur, such as cholestasis. Cholestasis is a condition that occurs only in pregnant women. Although this type of disease is not harmful to pregnant women, it will affect the fetus over time. So, what are the symptoms of cholestasis in pregnant women?

The first manifestation of cholestasis in pregnant women is itchy skin. And this kind of itching is itching without skin damage. The onset of cholestasis depends on the different physical conditions of pregnant women, but it generally occurs in the second half of pregnancy. Some pregnant women may experience itching symptoms earlier, while others may not until the second half of pregnancy. And the itching symptoms are more obvious at night.

The itching usually starts from the palms of the hands, soles of the feet and around the navel, and then gradually spreads outward. At this time, the face and limbs may also feel itchy. Some pregnant women will scratch their skin when the itching becomes unbearable, which will cause scars and damage to the skin. Some pregnant women with cholestasis will experience jaundice, and some will even feel nauseous and retching, accompanied by a decreased appetite.

Pruritus in pregnant women may last until about a week after giving birth and then disappear, but jaundice will disappear, and jaundice will not be relieved as the delivery date approaches. On the other hand, if a pregnant woman develops jaundice, the impact on the fetus will be more significant. Therefore, if a pregnant woman finds symptoms of cholestasis, she should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.
