Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why do pregnant women at 38 weeks have swollen feet?Doctor's answer:
In the later stages of pregnancy, as the fetus grows, it may compress your nerves, leading to swelling in your feet or body edema. If you have foot swelling, and your blood pressure measurement is higher than 140/90, it is recommended to check your urine for protein. Pay attention to follow-up check-ups and hospitalization for delivery. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal examination at the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the perineal skin clean.
