Patient's question:
My partner is 30 years old and is currently pregnant for several months. Recently, she has been feeling uncomfortable for a short time. Here are my questions: What causes itchy feet and itchy stomach during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is likely to be a case of pregnancy-related skin itching, which is characterized by itching without other symptoms. It is related to the increase in estrogen during pregnancy and has minimal impact on the fetus. It is recommended to avoid scratching with your hands and use sterile cotton swabs to gently rub the area to reduce the discomfort of itching. It is advisable to consult a dermatologist to examine the itchy skin and determine the underlying cause. Do not use medications indiscriminately. Some antihistamines are not safe for pregnant women to use. Avoid consuming excessively oily and sugary foods.
