Bitter taste in the mouth when eating during pregnancy

A bitter taste in the mouth is a very common symptom during pregnancy. It is mainly due to the pregnancy, which causes acid reflux in pregnant women, which can easily lead to sour and bitter taste. At this time, you must pay attention to a good diet, develop a regular life, eat small meals frequently, get enough rest, and eat some fruits and vegetables regularly. Let us take a brief look at this aspect.

Pregnant women's mouth sourness may be an early pregnancy reaction

Generally speaking, sour mouth is a kind of early pregnancy reaction for pregnant women. The situation varies from person to person. Some reactions are severe while others are mild. Severe ones may cause vomiting, nausea, loss of appetite, accompanied by drowsiness, frequent urination and other conditions. Acid reflux in pregnant women is a natural reaction to pregnancy and generally does not require treatment. Developing regular living habits, eating small meals frequently, and supplementing vitamins by eating more freeze-dried fruit chips can effectively prevent morning sickness and improve early pregnancy reactions.

A sour mouth in pregnant women may be a sign of acid reflux

"Fifty to six out of ten pregnant women suffer from reflux." The reflux here refers to the backflow of gastric acid from the stomach into the esophagus (gastroesophageal reflux), causing symptoms such as heartburn and acid vomiting. This is mainly the result of relaxation of pressure in the lower esophageal sphincter, the main mechanism for blocking gastric acid reflux into the esophagus. The reason for the relaxation of pressure is the endocrine changes after pregnancy - increased levels of progesterone and estrogen in the blood. Acid reflux in pregnant women is related to the increase in progesterone and estrogen levels in the body after pregnancy, which can be improved by properly adjusting some lifestyle habits.

Pregnant women may have gastrointestinal problems if their mouth is sour

If a pregnant woman has poor appetite, thick tongue coating, bad breath, and sour mouth recently, it is considered that it is caused by excess moisture in the gastrointestinal tract, which turns into heat over time. It is recommended to avoid cold and spicy food in daily diet. It is recommended to treat this disease with traditional Chinese medicine, based on syndrome differentiation and treatment, and take Chinese medicine that can strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness or cool dampness and heat, and the symptoms will naturally be relieved.
