Pregnancy check ups are really necessary. Irregular pregnancy check ups cannot timely detect health hazards of babies and pregnant women, especially those without obvious symptoms. Some pregnant women may be diagnosed with hypocalcemia, which is not often heard of. Many pregnant women are particularly anxious, so let's learn about the causes of hypocalcemia during pregnancy.
Hypocalcemia is not without symptoms, it can manifest as convulsions in the hands and feet. The nervous system can also have symptoms, and it is easy to become emotionally agitated when encountering things in life, and even experience symptoms such as hallucinations. In fact, hypocalcemia is caused by calcium deficiency or incomplete calcium absorption, and is also related to calcium metabolism. Part of the calcium in the human body is stored in the bones, while another part is free in the blood. Hypocalcemia refers to insufficient calcium in the free part of the blood.
Hypocalcemia is a mild calcium deficiency, while severe calcium deficiency refers to insufficient calcium content in the bones. Therefore, hypocalcemia can be easily relieved by actively supplementing calcium, so pregnant women should not worry too much. However, while supplementing calcium, attention should also be paid to the intake of vitamin D. If there is insufficient vitamin D in the body, supplementing with more calcium is futile, and the body cannot fully absorb or metabolize it well. While supplementing calcium, it is important to expose oneself to more sunlight. Ultraviolet radiation plays a crucial role in promoting calcium absorption.
