Patient's question:
Pregnant women after 6-7 weeks, stomach pain after eating the wrong thing, diarrhea, what methods can solve it? ... What should be eaten to stop diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Just like ordinary people, pregnant women can also experience diarrhea; yet unlike ordinary people, pregnant women are "two people"; more scientifically, it is the mother-fetus unit, which is also the most important characteristic. When diagnosing and treating pregnant women's diarrhea, this characteristic must not be ignored or forgotten.Diabetes itself rarely causes diarrhea and does not worsen existing diarrhea, but diarrhea is a dangerous signal for pregnancy, indicating the possibility of miscarriage or preterm labor, and thus should not be taken lightly. According to a report by a Swedish doctor, the most common cause of diarrhea in pregnant women is still infection, with the most common pathogens being Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter, and viruses. Food poisoning or viral infections in other parts of the body can also cause diarrhea in pregnant women.
Once a pregnant woman experiences diarrhea, the primary treatment measure is to replenish fluids appropriately, replacing the water and electrolytes lost due to diarrhea, especially potassium ions, and replenishing the calories lost due to diarrhea. At the same time, it is essential to closely monitor whether the fetus is doing well and whether there are any signs of preterm labor or miscarriage. Unlike ordinary people, pregnant women must be particularly cautious when using antibiotics. Many commonly used antibiotics and antiprotozoal drugs, in addition to having adverse reactions, also have potential teratogenic risks. For example, metronidazole, a commonly used antibiotic, has teratogenic effects on experimental animals, so it is contraindicated during pregnancy, especially in the first three months. Other antibiotics, such as sulfonamides, tetracyclines, and quinolones, also have adverse effects on the mother or/and fetus and should be avoided. Certain milder anti-diarrheal agents, such as kaolin and pectin, can be used. These medications can absorb moisture and reduce intestinal motility. Activated charcoal tablets can also be tried.
