Patient's question:
My partner is 29 years old and is currently pregnant for several months. Recently, she has been feeling uncomfortable. Could you please explain: What could be the reason for itching on the abdomen in the sixth month of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, hormonal changes in the body can easily cause dryness and itching of the skin. You can apply moisturizing essential oils locally to relieve the itching symptoms. Avoid scratching the affected area, as the symptoms usually gradually subside. If the itching persists, seek timely medical attention to prevent other complications. 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.
