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. Please advise what to eat if I have high bile acid levels at six months of pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
This is due to the large increase in endogenous estrogen and progesterone produced by the placenta during pregnancy, which leads to disruption in bilirubin excretion. For severe cases of skin itching, antihistamines can be tried, which are relatively safer. If ineffective, ion exchange resin cholestyramine can be used as an alternative. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient'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 symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
