The post pregnancy reactions that may occur in every woman after pregnancy may be different. Some pregnant women may experience skin itching symptoms, so they are very worried about whether it is caused by high bile acids and health issues. So, let's take a look at whether skin itching during pregnancy is necessarily due to high bile acids?
If bile acids are high in late pregnancy, it can easily lead to gestational cholestasis, mainly manifested as itching on the skin and red bumps on the body. If pregnant women experience severe skin itching, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible. The typical clinical symptoms of elevated bile acids are itching and jaundice. Itching usually begins in the palms and soles of the feet and gradually extends to the proximal limbs. The face is rarely affected, and the symptoms during the day are relatively mild, especially at night. However, itchy skin does not necessarily indicate high levels of bile acids.
Skin itching after pregnancy is actually very common, and the causes of skin itching are also quite complex, such as papular dermatitis during pregnancy, eczema during pregnancy, pregnancy dermatitis, pregnancy rash, etc., all of which can cause symptoms of skin itching in pregnant women. Most skin itching conditions are related to changes in women's progesterone and estrogen levels, so women must take good care of themselves after pregnancy to avoid these situations.
