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. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of high liver and gallbladder acid in pregnant women?Doctor's answer:
Bile acid is a chemical substance secreted by the human liver and stored in the gallbladder. It can promote the digestion and absorption of food. For pregnant women, high levels of bile acid may be a primary symptom of cholestasis, with main symptoms including jaundice and skin itching. Additionally, if a pregnant woman's liver is not functioning well, it may also lead to high levels of bile acid. Therefore, pregnant women must promptly visit a formal liver disease hospital for comprehensive examinations. Early detection of the condition and effective treatment are crucial, along with regular follow-up checks and enhanced monitoring of the intrauterine fetus. When necessary, corresponding treatment plans should be accepted.
