What is the reason for a pregnant woman's whole body itching?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

This is pruritic urticaria of pregnancy. If intrahepatic cholestasis occurs, it cannot be taken lightly and medical attention must be sought promptly. Of course, after delivery, the rash and intrahepatic cholestasis will naturally subside.
During pregnancy, cotton underwear should be worn, as synthetic fabrics can irritate the skin and worsen symptoms. It is also important to maintain skin hygiene, avoid alkaline soaps, and never scratch the skin to prevent secondary infection. For severe itching, calamine lotion can be used to relieve the symptoms.
