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. What are the reasons for shortness of breath in pregnant women?Doctor's answer:
Generally, due to the gradual enlargement of the uterus, the diaphragm rises, the lungs are compressed upwards, and as the fetus grows, it compresses the lungs, affecting respiratory function, which makes pregnant women easily feel short of breath and dizzy. This is a common phenomenon during pregnancy and is normal. After a woman becomes pregnant normally, due to physiological needs, it is advisable to eat high-protein, multi-vitamin, multi-fiber, and low-salt foods, while avoiding high-fat and excessively salty foods; it is advisable to eat easily digestible, rich, and juicy foods, while avoiding raw and cold, cooling foods; it is advisable to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, while avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
