REFLUX IN PREGNANCY

Reflux is when fluids in the stomach escape upwards into the esophagus. In this case, there are complaints such as burning in the chest and stomach area and sour water coming into the mouth. Reflux can also occur in people who are not pregnant, but it increases even more during pregnancy. It is a very common complaint in more than half of pregnant women. The reason for the increase in pregnancy is that the progesterone hormone increased during pregnancy relaxes the valve between the stomach and esophagus. In addition, the increase in the pressure in the abdomen due to the growth of the uterus also presses the stomach, causing the content to escape upwards. Complaints of reflux that occur during pregnancy often pass after birth.
For treatment, the expectant mother is advised to avoid some reflux-enhancing foods and medications (antacids etc.) are given. The expectant mother should eat little and often. Multiple meals increase the reflux after being hungry for a long time. It is necessary to avoid spicy, peppermint and fatty foods, chocolate, tea, coffee, tomato foods. Smoking and alcohol are also factors that increase reflux, and pregnant women should never use them, even if reflux is not already available. Meals should be eaten slowly and over-chewing. No excess water should be consumed during the meal. Reflux increases even more in those who are overweight. It is necessary to avoid clothes that tighten the abdomen. Using a high pillow while lying down can reduce reflux.
