My palms have been itching a lot since few days and im hoping for good news this month. Could this be an early sign or im just overthinking? anyone noticed this?
Itchy skin is quite common due to hormones, but if your palms are itching badly, please don't ignore it. I had severe morning sickness and my doctor always told me that intense itching on hands and feet needs a liver function blood test. Do contact your gynac soon.
Haan na, thoda itching toh normal hota hai hormonal changes ki wajah se. Par agar hath ke talve me bohot khujli ho rahi hai, toh gynac ko dikhana zaroori hai. Doctor se check karwana hi safe rahega.
My mother-in-law told me to apply coconut oil for any itching, which is great for dry skin. But when my hands started itching intensely, she herself insisted we ask the doctor. Turns out it is important to check with your gynac to ensure your liver enzymes are normal.
I am in my 22nd week and my hands have been feeling slightly itchy too, which is making me a bit anxious. Has anyone else experienced this? I read online that it could be serious, should I call my doctor right away?
While some itching is normal, severe itching on the palms of your hands can sometimes indicate a liver condition called cholestasis. It is very important to get this checked by your gynac immediately. Please don't rely on home remedies for this.
Itching on the palms and soles of the feet during pregnancy can sometimes be a symptom of obstetric cholestasis, which requires medical attention. It is highly recommended to consult your obstetrician and get a simple blood test done to be safe. Please don't delay.
Sometimes mild itching is just dry skin, but if the palms of your hands or soles of your feet are itching a lot, it is a classic pregnancy symptom that needs a doctor's check. Do call your clinic and tell them about it, they might suggest a quick blood test just to be safe.
