Patient's question:
Doctor, sometimes during my girlfriend's menstrual period she feels like vomiting. After the period ends, she feels like vomiting in the afternoon. What is the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Hello, early pregnancy symptoms:1. Menstruation stops: This is the most common pregnancy sign noticed by most people. For women of childbearing age with normal menstrual cycles, if their period does not arrive two weeks after sexual activity, it could be a sign of pregnancy. However, the absence of a period does not necessarily mean pregnancy. There are many reasons for missing a period, such as poor ovarian function, abnormal hormone secretion, busy work schedules, exam stress, and more. It is best to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis for safety.
2. Stinging, fullness, and itching in the breasts: Stinging, fullness, and itching in the breasts are early pregnancy physiological symptoms. Additionally, changes may include darker areolas, prominent subcutaneous veins in the breasts, and protruding nipples.
3. Frequent nausea and vomiting: Almost all early pregnancy women experience nausea and vomiting, especially in the morning. These symptoms vary from person to person—some are mild, while others are severe. Only if the nausea and vomiting are extremely severe should medical attention be sought; otherwise, these are normal early pregnancy symptoms.
4. Changes in skin color: Skin hyperpigmentation or the appearance of stretch marks on the abdomen may occur, becoming more noticeable in the later stages of pregnancy.
5. Vaginal mucosa discoloration: In early pregnancy, the vaginal mucosa may appear darker due to congestion. This should be evaluated by a doctor.
6. Fatigue: Fatigue is common in early pregnancy, often accompanied by a strong desire to sleep.
