After pregnancy, pregnant women may experience a series of physical problems, such as vomiting, bitter mouth, and loss of appetite. Both loss of appetite and vomiting are common symptoms. So, what about bitter mouth? How is mouth bitterness caused? Let's learn about it together.
How is mouth bitterness caused?
1. Bitter mouth in pregnant women caused by certain diseases
If pregnant women experience bitter mouth, they must seek medical attention promptly. When they wake up in the morning, bitter mouth is mainly caused by dampness and heat. There are also two kinds of liver and gallbladder damp heat and stomach heat. Bitter taste may be caused by stomach heat due to inflammation in the liver and gallbladder. Some people have no inflammation in the liver and gallbladder, but because of eating problems, eating too much spicy food will also cause bitter taste. Other people with chronic diseases (such as chronic diabetes patients) will also suffer from bitter taste.
2. Excessive pressure from work or life
A study suggests that pregnant women may experience bitter mouth when waking up in the morning due to excessive work or study pressure, including anger, restlessness, anxiety, and fear. Although this situation is not considered a serious illness, it should not be taken lightly. If the pain in the mouth is severe, it will not only affect the patient's emotions, but also affect their appetite. For these types of pregnant women who suffer from oral discomfort, it is necessary to strengthen exercise appropriately, try to minimize anxiety, and think less about unhappy things. On the other hand, many women are mental workers due to high work pressure, improper and irregular diet, and stagnant gastrointestinal function after pregnancy. The food they eat stays in the gastrointestinal tract for too long, which can easily lead to dampness and heat during pregnancy, as well as bitter taste in the mouth
Here is a suggestion that if pregnant women have mild mouth pain, they need to take good care of their bodies. Pregnant women should regularly eat fresh fruits and vegetables to relieve it. If the situation is serious, timely medical treatment should be sought to avoid harm to the health of oneself and the baby.
