Why do pregnant women get cholestasis?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Why do pregnant women get cholestasis?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of biliary obstruction is relatively difficult, often leading to liver failure, and is one of the main causes of death in patients with obstructive jaundice. It is also a common condition during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy in women, with the cause remaining unknown. Immediate hospitalization and treatment are required.
The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, dietary adjustments should be made, focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Spicy, stimulating, and cold foods should be avoided.
