"Burning the heart" is also called "stomach burning" or "acid reflux", which is caused by food return, which is very common during pregnancy.
As the saying goes: "Pregnant women return flow, there are ten or six."
Why does it "burn heart" during pregnancy?
Reason 1: Hormone changes in the body
After pregnancy, heart burning is mainly caused by hormones and physical changes in pregnant mothers.During pregnancy, progesterone (also known as progesterone) will not only relax the smooth muscle of the uterus, but also relax the valve (cardia) of the separators and gastric stomach, which makes the gastric acid easily flow back to the esophagus, causing uncomfortable people to be uncomfortableBurning heart.
The changes in hormones during pregnancy will also slow down the contraction of the stomach, slow down the speed of digestion, slower the stomach empty stomach of the pregnant mother, the gastric juice stays in the stomach for a long time, and it is easy to cause gastric fluid to flow.
Reason 2: Uterine enlargement
With the continuation of pregnancy time, the uterus of expectant mothers continues to compress the stomach upward, increase the pressure in the stomach, and slow the speed of the stomach empty, which causes the gastric juice to stay in the stomach for a long time.The reflux to the lower section of the esophagus causes the burning sensation of the stomach.The stomach -hot part is in the upper abdomen or lower sternum section, and the incidence will increase with the increase of the gestational week. The symptoms will increase when the expectant mothers are bent, sitting or lying flat.
Reason 3: The symptoms of heart burning are generally caused by excessive gastric acid
Chronic diseases (such as gastric ulcers, chronic gastritis, indigestion, etc.) will cause excessive gastric acid, and take too much irritating foods (such as peppers, green onions, ginger, garlic, vinegar, oil, etc.) to increase gastric acid.
