Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
When getting up in the morning, pay attention to whether the edema has subsided, observe whether the urine is clear, check if there is weight gain, and note whether you experience symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, tinnitus, or nausea. When sleeping, adopt a left-side position, engage in appropriate exercise, and wear loose clothing to promote blood circulation. This can help reduce or even largely eliminate edema without the need for medication. During pregnancy, it is also important to pay attention to nutrition, preferably consuming a high-protein and low-carbohydrate diet. Weight gain should not be excessive, and it is best to avoid gaining more than 9 kilograms throughout the entire pregnancy to prevent overburdening the heart. Some people say that reducing salt intake is sufficient, but this is not entirely accurate. Water and sodium retention are physiological adjustments during pregnancy. The increase in blood volume is to meet the needs of placental circulation, so it is still necessary to appropriately and not excessively increase blood volume.
