Patient's question:
My wife is 40 years old and pregnant with her second child. Recently, she has been having trouble sleeping at night, tossing and turning, and doesn't know what to do about it.Question: Is it "fetal poison" if the navel itches during pregnancy?
Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is generally not considered due to retained fetal toxins, as the demand for nutritional elements decreases after pregnancy. Therefore, when there is a lack of vitamins, it can lead to skin itching. Additionally, it may be due to factors such as mental tension or anxiety. It could also be a result of bile stasis. I recommend that you get checked. Lastly, it is important to develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance the patient's immunity.
