Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can pregnant women sleep on their backs?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women should sleep on their side. Lying on your back, the swollen uterus compresses the inferior vena cava, affecting blood circulation, which can cause edema or varicose veins in the legs and vulva. It also reduces the amount of blood returning from the legs to the heart, leading to brain ischemia and hypoxia. Therefore, pregnant women should never lie on their back.You can eat this without worry. Make sure to rest well, maintain a balanced diet, eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy foods, and supplement with multiple vitamins and trace elements. You will recover quickly.
