Patient's question:
My partner is 31 years old and is currently pregnant for several months. Recently, she has been feeling uncomfortable. Here are her questions: What could be the reason for her stomach itching at 7 months of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
It is relatively normal to experience these symptoms during the second trimester of pregnancy. Pay attention because as the months progress, the uterus gradually expands, which also leads to the tightening of the abdomen. This can stretch the skin locally, causing a sensation of itching. It is recommended that you apply some olive oil appropriately to alleviate this. Lastly, it is important to develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance the patient's immunity.
