During pregnancy, women may experience many symptoms due to hormones and other factors, which usually subside after a period of time. However, there are also some women who, after experiencing some problems, feel particularly uncomfortable and dare not take medication at will, not knowing how to treat it, which is very distressing. What should I do if a pregnant woman experiences itching at 30 weeks?
Pregnant women at 30 weeks should undergo a comprehensive examination to determine the specific cause of itching before deciding whether medication is needed. Firstly, it may be related to the condition of cholestasis during pregnancy. It is recommended to undergo liver function tests and other blood tests to see the results before deciding on treatment. Secondly, pay attention to taking frequent showers, maintaining personal hygiene, and be alert to skin allergies caused by improper diet. Try not to scratch the skin blindly, and it is recommended to wear cotton clothes to reduce friction on the skin.
If it is caused by allergies, it cannot be ruled out that it is due to exposure to allergens, and most cases will show local papules the size of red rice grains or even mung beans. It is recommended not to use medication for treatment during pregnancy, as it may have a certain impact on the growth and development of the fetus and oneself. If the situation is severe, it should be promptly checked and treated at the hospital.
Of course, it could also be due to physiological reasons, such as hormonal changes during pregnancy, which can cause pregnant women to experience skin itching and dryness. For this type of patient, it is recommended to keep the skin moist, drink plenty of water, and use some topical ointments such as calamine lotion appropriately. Don't be too nervous, otherwise it's not good for the fetus either.
