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.How can I relieve severe nausea, stomach acid, constipation, and loss of appetite in the early stages of pregnancy?
Doctor's answer:
It should be a normal pregnancy symptom. In early pregnancy, women may experience nausea, vomiting, salivation, food cravings (preferring sour or spicy foods), aversion to greasy food, gastrointestinal bloating accompanied by a burning sensation, a full upper abdomen, and constipation. Don't worry.Maintain a positive mood, eat small meals frequently, and engage in appropriate exercise to strengthen your body. These symptoms usually resolve on their own around the 12th week.
It could be caused by hemorrhoids. Avoid self-medication and don't rely solely on drugs, even if they seem effective, as long-term use can lead to dependency. The best approach is to rely on self-regulation and start by changing your lifestyle habits:
- Maintain a regular sleep schedule.
- Eat a light diet.
- Correct poor posture: Avoid standing or sitting for long periods and change positions frequently.
- Don't spend too much time on the toilet when having a bowel movement.
