Patient's question:
Medical Description: Pregnant for more than four months with persistent vomiting. Yesterday, while getting a health care card at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital, a urine ketone test showed 3+. When I asked the doctor, he casually said it was due to hunger. Previous Treatment and Effect: I drank Bao Ling Yung Bao for a few days, which slightly reduced the vomiting. Thinking it was fine, I stopped drinking it. Desired Help: Is this condition something that requires treatment?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, you have been vomiting for over four months of pregnancy with 3+ ketones in your urine. First, do not carry a heavy psychological burden and try to relax to alleviate this discomfort. Additionally, it is best to avoid eating during times when you are more prone to vomiting. Eat small, frequent meals; consume more vegetables, fruits, and vitamin-rich foods; maintain a light diet and avoid high-fat foods. Also, since cooking odors can easily trigger and worsen vomiting, try to avoid them as much as possible. At the same time, drink plenty of water to replenish the fluids lost due to vomiting.Recommendations: In most cases, the condition can resolve on its own without special treatment. Oral intake of vitamin B1, B6, and C, as well as low-dose sedatives, can be helpful for general symptoms and prevent further impact on your physical condition and fetal development. Wishing you a smooth journey!
