Pregnant Mommy can encounter a lot of bad things during pregnancy. It’s even worse when she gets sick accidentally. Pregnant Mommy asked: what should I do if I suffer from urticaria during pregnancy?
Some people say that urticaria doesn’t have to worry, it will heal itself; Others say urticaria may cause fetal malformations. Opinions vary, whether pregnant women suffering from urticaria has an impact on the fetus?
▶ What is urticaria?
Urticaria, commonly known as rubella mass, is a localized edema reaction due to the expansion of small blood vessels and increased permeability of skin and mucosa. Generally speaking, urticaria is caused by allergic substances, which can be divided into acute urticaria and chronic urticaria.
Acute urticaria has an acute onset, which is characterized by pruritus and wind masses of different sizes. The wind masses will fuse with each other and cause large skin lesions, or spread like a map. Skin lesions usually subside within a few hours, but it is easy to repeat and cause new skin lesions. In severe cases, it will lead to dyspnea or even suffocation.
The onset of chronic urticaria is slow. Most of them are only skin rash with pruritus. The symptoms are relatively mild and generally will not affect the health of the fetus.
Some data show that urticaria in the first three months of pregnancy may lead to congenital heart disease or dysplasia. However, if the fetus is fully developed in the third trimester, the pregnant mother suffering from urticaria has little effect on the fetus.
