Patient's question:
During the later stages of pregnancy, I've been experiencing heartburn after meals for about 10 days now. What could be causing this?Doctor's answer:
Dietary Adjustment: The diet should be warm, soft, light, vegetarian, and fresh. It is important to maintain regular and balanced meals, with small, frequent meals to ensure the stomach is always filled with food, allowing for neutralization of stomach acid. The recurrence and exacerbation of digestive disorders are closely related to a person's emotions and mindset. Therefore, it is essential to prioritize mental health, maintain a cheerful spirit and stable emotions, and avoid negative emotions such as stress, anxiety, and irritation. At the same time, pay attention to balancing work and rest to prevent overexertion from hindering the recovery of gastric conditions. For individuals with stomach acid issues, in addition to seeking appropriate medical treatment, dietary therapy can be used as a complementary approach. In daily life, it is necessary to eat appropriately and avoid foods.
