Will IV treatment for hyperemesis gravidarum dilute hCG?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hyperemesis gravidarum can lead to nutritional deficiencies, disruption of electrolyte balance, resulting in elevated ketone levels. When the amount reaches a certain level, it can cause ketoacidosis, which affects the health of both the mother and the fetus. Under the condition of being unable to eat, nutrition must be supplemented through intravenous infusion to ensure the basic nutritional needs of the mother and the fetus. Intravenous drip is certainly not good for the body, but what is being infused is nutrient fluid, which has a minimal impact on the baby. However, the greater impact on the baby is the lack of timely nutrient supplementation, so it is still best to follow the doctor's advice.
