What are the symptoms of anemia in pregnancy

Anemia symptoms are more harmful to women than to men, because women's physical conditions are very weak and they do not have as strong resistance as men. Therefore, women are prone to diseases, especially pregnant women. Pregnant women need a lot of nutrients, which puts a lot of burden on their bodies. Pregnant women are also prone to pregnancy anemia. So what are the symptoms of pregnancy anemia?

In addition to the general symptoms of anemia, there are the following characteristics:

1. Most cases occur in late pregnancy, with about 50% occurring after 31 weeks of pregnancy and the rest occurring in the puerperium. It is common around the age of 30, more common in multiparas than primiparas, and more common in multiple births than in single births. 25% of patients are prone to recurrence during the next pregnancy.

2. The onset is acute and anemia is usually moderate or severe. The symptoms are often dizziness, fatigue, general edema, palpitations, shortness of breath, pale skin and mucous membranes, diarrhea, glossitis, and nipple atrophy. Low-grade fever, splenomegaly, and apathy are also common.

3. Digestive tract symptoms are obvious. Some patients have nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting and diarrhea, which may be accompanied by pain in the tongue and lips. During acute attacks, the tip and edge of the tongue are obviously painful, and the tongue surface is bright red, the so-called "beef tongue". Bloody blisters or shallow ulcers may appear, and the lingual papillae may further atrophy into a "bald tongue".

4. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause peripheral neuritis, which manifests as fatigue, numbness of hands and feet, sensory impairment, difficulty walking and other peripheral neuritis and subacute or chronic combined lesions of the posterior and lateral fascicles of the spinal cord and other neurological symptoms.

The symptoms of anemia during pregnancy are introduced above. I hope everyone can understand that this phenomenon is quite harmful to women. Therefore, women should actively exercise and enhance their physical fitness in life so that their bodies can have the ability to resist diseases during the Renchen period.
