Éhgyomorra

Éhgyomorra, also known as morning sickness, is a common condition characterized by nausea and vomiting, typically occurring in the morning. It is most commonly experienced by pregnant women, although it can also affect individuals who are not pregnant. The exact cause of morning sickness is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to hormonal changes, particularly the increase in human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and human placental lactogen (hPL) during pregnancy.

Morning sickness can begin as early as one week after conception and can last until the end of pregnancy. It is more common in the first trimester, with symptoms usually subsiding by the second trimester. The severity of morning sickness can vary greatly among individuals, with some experiencing mild nausea, while others may experience severe vomiting and dehydration.

Treatment options for morning sickness include lifestyle changes such as eating small, frequent meals, staying hydrated, and avoiding triggers like strong smells or spicy foods. Medications such as doxylamine, meclizine, and promethazine may also be prescribed to help alleviate symptoms. In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary to prevent dehydration and other complications.

Morning sickness is generally considered a normal part of pregnancy and does not typically indicate any underlying health issues. However, in rare cases, severe morning sickness may be a sign of a more serious condition, such as hyperemesis gravidarum, which requires medical attention. It is important for individuals experiencing severe morning sickness to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure proper management and treatment.
