From the point of view of western medicine, the body has a strong metabolism and a large number of hormones are secreted.
From the point of view of western medicine, because the body is in a state of high metabolism during pregnancy, it needs to be supplied to the mother and fetus at the same time, so it will produce heat under the condition of high metabolism.
Furthermore, it may be affected by hormones. At the beginning of pregnancy, lutein will continue to be secreted in the body. When lutein is secreted in large quantities, it will cause the skin to become oily and thirsty, much like a fever in traditional Chinese medicine.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, raising a fetus leads to deficiency of qi and blood.
From the perspective of Chinese medicine, after pregnancy, the mother's blood will be used to raise the fetus, which leads to the mother's frequent deficiency of qi and blood, and usually the constitution will also show the situation of yin deficiency and fire flourishing, which will make the constitution hot and dry.
2 Symptoms of hot and dry constitution of pregnant women If pregnant women are hot and dry, their skin is more likely to itch.
The symptoms of pregnant mommy with hot constitution are as follows:
There are more acne on the skin and face. If pregnant women are physically hot, their skin is more prone to itching and even urticaria.
The body is prone to symptoms such as aphtha and dry mouth. In addition, the urine will turn yellow and the stool will not be smooth. The whole body symptoms will appear palpitations, whole body dryness and heat, and even a low fever, feeling that the whole body is hot; In addition, poor sleep quality and high blood pressure may even lead to bleeding and premature delivery.
If pregnant women who may seriously cause bleeding or premature delivery continue to take supplements, they may cause bleeding and premature delivery due to excessive calories, which may cause harm to the mother and fetus.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the fetus may be affected by the mother's hot air during pregnancy, and the baby is prone to get angry after birth, and even the skin will have symptoms such as rash, itching and poor defecation.
"Fetal poison" was widely defined by the ancients.
In fact, "fetal poison" was defined by the ancients. In the past, if babies had a rash after birth or something they couldn't explain, they would think it was inherited by their parents or infected by their mothers during pregnancy, thus forming a "fetal poison" constitution. However, this traditional concept is somewhat similar to modern congenital infectious diseases, such as syphilis and rubella. In addition, in the past, medicine was not so developed that it could not accurately diagnose diseases, so their definition of fetal poison was relatively broad.
Modern "fetal poison" refers to the situation of acne rash, pustule and aphtha on the baby. However, when the baby has these symptoms, it will also be prone to physical discomfort such as getting angry, constipation and itchy skin, and even lead to a high jaundice index.
Fetal fire is big, nourishing yin and clearing heat!
Coptis chinensis has the function of annealing and detoxification, but it is not recommended for pregnant women to take it without authorization.
Fetal fire often happens to hot pregnant mothers, and not every pregnant woman will have fetal fire. However, in the case of excessive fire due to yin deficiency, it can be regulated by traditional Chinese medicines such as Radix Ophiopogonis, Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Adenophorae, Radix Scrophulariae, Radix Asparagi, Radix Astragali and Pearl powder. It has the effects of nourishing yin, clearing away heat, calming the heart and calming the nerves. Take pearl powder as an example, it also has the function of reducing fetal fire, so some people think that if pregnant women eat pearl powder, their baby's skin will be whiter and better.
In addition, lotus seeds, grass, mung beans and so on. Both have the effect of reducing fetal fire; However, although Rhizoma Coptidis has the effect of annealing and detoxification, it is not recommended for pregnant women to buy Rhizoma Coptidis without authorization, and it is best to be diagnosed by Chinese medicine. Sometimes pregnant women are not really hot and dry, or it may be because of insufficient blood. At this time, it is necessary to replenish qi and blood, but it is not suitable for eating food that nourishes yin and reduces fire. Therefore, it is better to diagnose symptoms in traditional Chinese medicine.
4. Improve the physique of dryness and heat from two aspects. How can pregnant mommy with hot constitution improve the situation from daily life and diet?
Diet 1, enough water.
Drinking enough water is helpful for defecation. However, it should be reminded that due to the change of taste during pregnancy, some pregnant mothers will think that boiled water is tasteless and often drink sugary drinks. However, sugary drinks are not only high in calories, but also easy to gain weight if they are not carefully controlled. So drinking boiled water is the healthiest.
2, light diet
If pregnant mommy has no obvious weakness of qi and blood, there is no need to drink more greasy foods such as supplements and chicken soup. In addition, try not to eat barbecue and fried food. For example, some pregnant mothers will buy salted chicken to eat at midnight snack, which is not only easy to get angry, but also a load on the stomach and even cause gastric acid. But if you have a bad appetite, you can add a little spice or use a slightly sweet and sour appetizer to help your appetite.
3, less irritating food
In addition, irritating foods such as black tea and coffee, and hot fruits such as litchi, durian and longan are best avoided as much as possible, and the diet is mainly mild food. If pregnant women are hot and dry, they can take cold food as appropriate, but try to choose cold food with moistening effect, such as water pear, Lu Xun and watermelon. Pears, for example, have the effect of moistening the lungs, but don't eat too much to avoid damaging the spleen and stomach and diarrhea.
Life 1, get enough sleep
Adequate sleep can improve the situation of yin deficiency and excessive fire.
Sleeping late and staying up late will often lead to the rise of deficiency fire, and adequate sleep can improve the situation of excessive fire due to yin deficiency, especially now many pregnant mothers like surfing the Internet and playing mobile phones before going to bed, which may affect the quality of sleep.
Be careful not to catch a cold
In addition, even if pregnant mommy feels very hot, don't blow the electric fan and air conditioner directly at people, so as not to catch a cold accidentally, causing a cough, runny nose and other colds, and have to go to the hospital to report.
In principle, when you are prone to dry mouth, acne on your face, bitter taste, constipation, irritability, frequent insomnia and other symptoms. Your diet and lifestyle have to be adjusted recently. If you have caused physical problems, such as constipation for several days, you may wish to let Chinese medicine diagnose you, and don't eat Chinese medicine without authorization.
