Many pregnant women may experience discomfort after pregnancy, such as nausea and vomiting, headaches and head swelling. Sometimes, headaches and head swelling can make pregnant women feel uncomfortable, so it is necessary to actively improve. However, in order to effectively improve headaches and head swelling, it is necessary to first understand the cause of the disease before treating it accordingly. So, what are the reasons for headaches and head swelling in pregnant women?
Pregnant women may experience headaches and head swelling due to the following reasons:
1. Changes in hormone levels. After pregnancy, the hormones in the pregnant woman's body will undergo significant changes. Due to the unpredictable changes in hormones, it can cause discomfort such as headaches and bloating. In this case, pregnant women need to take some painkillers properly under the guidance of a doctor to relieve symptoms. Before going to bed at night, they can use a hot towel to apply heat to the head and relieve the nerves in the head. Drink plenty of water during the day and ensure adequate sleep every day.
2. Mental tension. Some pregnant women may feel nervous during pregnancy, which may be due to concerns about pregnancy or the fetus, or they may feel nervous after experiencing pregnancy for the first time. The increasing mental pressure can lead to headaches and bloating. If the tension continues, it is also detrimental to the fetus. Therefore, pregnant women should regulate their psychological pressure and avoid excessive burden.
3. Elevated blood pressure. If a pregnant woman eats more and more food without proper control or frequently consumes heavy flavored foods during pregnancy, it can cause high blood pressure and lead to physical discomfort.
