Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What should pregnant women avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
Spicy foods such as mustard, mountain vegetables, chili peppers, curry, and other pungent foods can stimulate pregnant women. A small amount of consumption is not a problem, but excessive intake can irritate the stomach and intestines, and in severe cases, it may lead to miscarriage or premature birth. These foods should be controlled. If a pregnant woman has poor kidney function or high blood pressure, she should avoid spicy foods even more.Cold drinks Eating too many cold things can cause diarrhea, which in turn irritates the rectum and leads to uterine congestion, resulting in adverse effects on pregnancy. During the early stages of pregnancy, when women often have poor appetite, consuming too many cold drinks that irritate the stomach can cause diarrhea. Such cases are not uncommon. Not only cold drinks, but also cold boiled water should be consumed in moderation.
Drinks Coffee, cocoa, and black tea are drinks that, even if consumed excessively before pregnancy, can cause excitement and difficulty sleeping. Pregnant women need plenty of rest, so these drinks are best avoided. Especially coffee, it is generally believed to hinder the division of embryonic cells during growth, which has adverse effects on pregnancy and should be consumed as little as possible.
