Vomiting, nausea, and decreased appetite in pregnant women are normal pregnancy reactions, so they will not cause tension in pregnant women. However, if a woman develops intrahepatic cholestasis during pregnancy, it can cause concern for the pregnant woman. To control this symptom in a timely manner, you can first take a look at the symptoms of intrahepatic cholestasis in pregnant women.
Intrahepatic cholestasis is actually a common complication in women during the middle and late stages of pregnancy, characterized by itching without skin damage. About 80% of pregnant women experience this condition after 30 weeks of pregnancy, and some may even experience it earlier. Due to the different constitutions of pregnant women, the degree of itching may also vary. Intrahepatic cholestasis is persistent and can also progress to the face, but rarely invades the mucosa.
The itching symptoms caused by intrahepatic cholestasis can last for about three weeks, and some may last for several months, which is closely related to the woman herself. Severe patients may experience more prominent itching, as well as symptoms such as insomnia, decreased appetite, nausea, and vomiting.
Due to itching, pregnant women may unconsciously scratch, resulting in scratch marks. In clinical practice, about 10% to 15% of patients may experience mild jaundice after a few days of itching, or it may occur simultaneously with jaundice and itching, which will gradually disappear on their own after delivery.
Pregnant women with intrahepatic cholestasis do not need to be nervous. As long as they go to the hospital for specific examinations and there are no other complications, they do not need to worry too much. They can naturally recover after giving birth.
