Causes of dizziness in early pregnancy
1. In the first trimester, pregnant women have different degrees of physiological changes because of pregnancy. If the body can't adapt, there will be various symptoms, dizziness is one of them. If it happens in the first trimester, there will be no adverse consequences.
(1) The autonomic nervous system of pregnant women is unbalanced, and the motor nerves regulating blood vessels are unstable. When the body position changes suddenly, dizziness may be caused by transient cerebral ischemia.
(2) Eating less due to pregnancy reaction, often accompanied by hypoglycemia, is easy to feel dizzy. Especially when standing suddenly, standing for a long time, taking a bath in the bath hall or in a crowded crowd. Once it happens, you should immediately squat down or lie down and rest. If this phenomenon occurs frequently, there is the possibility of anemia, low blood pressure or high blood pressure, malnutrition or heart disease, so you should seek medical attention in time.
2. Anemia is the main cause in the second and third trimesters.
After pregnancy, in order to meet the needs of fetal growth, the blood volume of pregnant women increases and the blood is relatively diluted, forming physiological anemia. At this time, blood routine should be checked regularly. If anemia is serious, oral anti-anemia drugs should be taken to correct it.
Dizziness in the second trimester of pregnancy is mostly due to the short circuit of placental artery and vein, and the resistance of peripheral blood vessels to dilation decreases, which makes the diastolic blood pressure of pregnant women lower than that before pregnancy. The blood vessels in the whole pelvic cavity increase obviously and expand highly during pregnancy, which makes the blood more concentrated in the lower abdomen with uterus, and the enlarged uterus compresses the inferior vena cava to return, which reduces the blood returning to the heart, leading to a decrease in cardiac output, resulting in hypotension and temporary cerebral ischemia.
Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common blood diseases during pregnancy. In the first trimester, the incidence of this disease is about 10%, and in the second trimester, the incidence can reach 38%.
If you have dizziness in the third trimester of pregnancy, especially when accompanied by symptoms such as edema and high blood pressure, you must not take it lightly. It is often a precursor to some serious complications such as eclampsia, so you should see a doctor as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be extremely serious. After eliminating the above reasons, it is necessary to go to the internal medicine department for a detailed physical examination, clarify the specific reasons and actively treat them.
