Patient's question:
I don't feel any discomfort myself, just occasionally a bit dizzy. During my prenatal checkup, I was told I had gestational diabetes. I'm very worried now—is this harmful to the child? Please ask: How are the symptoms of gestational diabetes treated?Doctor's answer:
If you have gestational diabetes, weight loss can be sudden, significant obesity, or the recurrence of the "three more, one less" symptoms (polyphagia, polydipsia, polyuria, and weight loss). If it worsens, symptoms such as vaginal itching and candidiasis of the vagina and external genitalia may reappear. In severe cases, diabetic ketoacidosis with confusion may occur, and it can even be life-threatening. Therefore, if any of these symptoms are detected, it should be taken seriously, and timely and standardized treatment should be administered. Gestational diabetes is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of nursing. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to hygiene. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
