Patient's question:
I'm still in school, 21 years old. I recently just found out I'm pregnant. I'm a bit young, and I don't know what to do. Please ask: Why does diarrhea occur in the early stages of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, due to the rise in estrogen and progesterone levels in a woman's body, hormonal imbalances occur, leading to a decrease in immunity and making the body more susceptible to bacterial infections. Pregnant women often experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and colds. It is recommended that patients pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid consuming unclean food, and refrain from greasy, spicy, and irritating foods to prevent nausea and vomiting. Lastly, it is important to maintain a positive mood in daily life, as a good mood is very helpful for recovery from illness.
