Why does a pregnant woman feel bitter in her mouth?

Some pregnant women may have persistent mouth pain and often like to spit. They always feel like there is something in their throat and cannot spit it out no matter how hard they try. Or some pregnant women may feel a bitter taste in their mouth after eating, and this situation lasts for a long time. At this time, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to see if there are any problems with stomach or liver function. Here we will explain why pregnant women feel bitter in their mouths.

Physiological factors: Because the hormone level in the body increases after pregnancy, it affects gastric secretion, so everything you eat has no taste and even tastes different. As well as high mental stress and irregular lifestyle. Pathological factors: oral inflammation, stomach heat and bitter taste in the mouth, chronic gastritis, due to poor gastric motility, bile reflux; liver and gallbladder diseases, such as bitter taste in the mouth when waking up in the morning, are caused by inflammation in the liver and gallbladder. For example, when the liver or gallbladder is inflamed, abnormal bile excretion leads to bitter taste in the mouth.

Solution: Try to avoid going out between 10 am and 2 pm. When going out during the day, hold an umbrella or wear a sun hat. In summer, the indoor temperature should be kept between 23℃ and 28℃, and the humidity should be kept between 40% and 60% to prevent external fire from invading. Prevent "internal heat" (internal heat syndrome caused by imbalance of yin and yang in the human body). Expectant mothers with internal heat should pay attention to drinking more water to regulate body temperature and eating more fruits to cool down; they should also keep a good mood, not be anxious or irritable, to prevent internal heat from occurring.

In fact, many times pregnant women feel bitter in their mouths because of external fire invading the inside. In order to avoid this situation, after pregnancy, try not to go out between 10 am and 2 pm, because during this period the outside temperature is often relatively high and the heat is strong. If you go out at this time, it is easy for external fire to invade the inside, making the pregnant woman's mouth bitter.
