Why itching occurs in whole body during pregnancy?
I'm experiencing intense itching all over my body, especially at night. It's becoming very uncomfortable and disturbing my sleep. Is this a common thing during pregnancy, and why does it happen?
Whole body itching, especially on palms and soles, can be a symptom of a liver condition called Obstetric Cholestasis (ICP). My doctor explained that bile acids buildup causes this, which requires monitoring and blood tests. Please contact your doctor today to get this evaluated.
Honestly, I had mild itching on my belly which I cured with coconut oil, but whole body itching is different. When my sister-in-law had itching all over her palms and soles, her doctor did some blood tests. So I think calling your gynac is the best thing to do here.
Oh god, the itching was hands down the most frustrating part of my pregnancy, I used to cry at night. I found out it was due to cholestasis, a liver issue. Please get your liver enzymes tested by checking with your doctor immediately, don't ignore it.
Hormonal changes and liver issues can cause whole body itching during pregnancy. Since I had thyroid, I was always regular with my doctor appointments and blood tests. You should also get this checked by your gynac immediately as it might need specific blood tests.
Mild skin stretching can cause itching, but whole body itching needs a doctor's opinion. I had a smooth normal delivery, but I never ignored any sudden symptoms. Do get in touch with your doctor to rule out any liver issues.
Beta, pregnancy me thoda bohot itching toh dry skin se hota hai par pure body me ho toh thoda dhyan dena padega. Mere doctor ne bola tha ki agar zyada khujli ho toh liver checkup karna padta hai. Tum jaldi se doctor se baat kar lo ek baar.
For mild dry skin, applying aloe vera gel or coconut oil works wonders. But if you have itching all over your body, please don't rely on home remedies. Call your doctor immediately because it could be a liver issue that needs proper medical tests.
