What should be done about electrolyte disorders in pregnant women due to dehydration?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

If there are no other diseases, dehydration and electrolyte disorders in pregnant women are often caused by early pregnancy symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Mild cases can be treated by purchasing oral rehydration salts at the hospital and drinking them after mixing with water at home. Severe cases require hospitalization, where intravenous fluids will be administered to replenish fluids and electrolytes based on the degree of dehydration and electrolyte deficiency.
