Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Symptoms of Zinc Deficiency in Pregnant Women
1. Pregnancy symptoms may worsen, such as increased nausea and vomiting.
2. Delayed fetal development in the womb: leading to premature birth and low birth weight infants.
3. Increased complications during childbirth: prolonged labor, miscarriage, premature birth, higher rates of fetal malformations, including central nervous system abnormalities in the brain, resulting in a reduced total number of fetal brain cells.
4. Weak uterine contractions, making it difficult to deliver smoothly.
5. Lowered immunity, making it easier to experience repeated infections.
6. Poor wound healing: injuries take longer to heal; increased susceptibility to dermatitis and stubborn eczema.
