Patient's question:
Medical Description: Pregnant for more than four months with persistent vomiting. Yesterday, while getting a health card at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital, a urine ketone test showed 3+. When I asked the doctor, he casually mentioned it was due to hunger. Past Treatment and Effect: I drank Bao Ling Yun Bao for a few days, which somewhat reduced the vomiting. Thinking it was fine, I stopped drinking it. Desired Help: Is this condition something that needs treatment?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, you have been pregnant for over four months and have been vomiting continuously with 3+ ketones in your urine. First, do not bear excessive 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 other 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.Advice: In most cases, the condition can resolve on its own without the need for special treatment. Oral supplements of vitamin B1, B6, and C, as well as low-dose sedatives, can be taken, which generally provide some relief for symptoms, to prevent further impact on your physical condition and fetal development. Wishing you all the best!
