After pregnancy, due to various factors such as changes in hormone levels in the body, most pregnant women may experience pregnancy reactions such as nausea, vomiting, and drowsiness, while a few may experience limb edema, itching, and other symptoms. Let's learn together how to relieve foot itching in pregnant women?
Pregnant women's foot itching can be relieved by soaking their feet in slightly warmer hot water. Foot itching symptoms during pregnancy may be caused by elevated hormone levels in the body, which can irritate the skin of limbs. As many medications cannot be used during pregnancy, soaking feet in hot water can promote blood circulation and alleviate symptoms. However, it is important to note that the water temperature should not be too high to avoid uterine contractions caused by foot irritation, which can endanger fetal development and health.
The immune system of pregnant women during pregnancy is relatively weakened, leading to fungal infections and causing athlete's foot, which is also a common cause of itching on the soles of the feet during pregnancy. In addition to adding white vinegar or salt to the foot soaking water to kill bacteria, reduce inflammation, and effectively alleviate symptoms, this situation can also be improved by changing socks frequently and keeping the skin on both feet dry.
In addition, some pregnant women with conditions such as gestational hypertension and hypoalbuminemia may also experience itching on the soles of their feet. In addition to maintaining a light diet and consuming vitamin rich fruits and vegetables such as apples and kiwis, medication can be used under the guidance of a doctor to improve the condition.
