Bile acid can affect fetal intelligence

Generally speaking, if a pregnant woman has high total bile acid, she is likely to suffer from cholestasis. This condition mostly occurs in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. Pregnant women are mainly characterized by itching and jaundice. If the total bile acid is slightly higher, there is no need to worry too much. However, if it is much higher, bile acid will affect the intelligence of the fetus, and it is easy to cause premature birth or low birth weight and neonatal asphyxia. Therefore, pregnant women in the middle and late stages of pregnancy must pay attention to fetal movements. Let's discuss the relevant situation with everyone below.

1. Process/Method:

1. Total bile acid generally refers to the general term for bile acid produced by the liver of a normal person. However, when our liver is damaged or there is a blockage inside or outside our liver, bile acid metabolism will become abnormal and the total bile acid will increase, which will not only affect pregnant women, but also have a great impact on the fetus.

2. Secondly, if a pregnant woman has high total bile acid in the middle or late stages of pregnancy, the size of her liver may be abnormal, and she may experience itching and jaundice. It is more likely to cause premature birth or low birth weight of the fetus, as well as intrauterine distress of the fetus, and may even cause neonatal asphyxia, etc., so you should pay attention.

3. Finally, if the total bile acid is high in pregnant women, it is very likely that they have cholestasis. In this case, they must pay attention to the following aspects in the late pregnancy: count the fetal movements frequently, listen to the fetal heart rate frequently, take some bile-promoting Chinese and Western medicines as prescribed by the doctor, and go to the hospital for check-ups every week.

2. Frequently asked questions:

Pay attention to a balanced diet at ordinary times. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables such as lettuce, which are vegetables and fruits rich in fiber, or kelp, corn, fish, and fruits. Also pay attention to reducing the intake of high cholesterol foods and controlling the bile acid in the body.
