Answer
Hello! Stomach pain is quite common with pregnant women, the reason is that during this time, pregnant women will experience a lot of fatigue, stress, pregnancy morning sickness, and a change in diet. Whether or not a gastroscopy should be performed during pregnancy depends on the patient's condition. If the stomach pain is manageable and does not affect the mother's health, the gastroscopy will be delayed until after the baby is born. There are many measures to help improve stomach pain during pregnancy, the diet also helps me somewhat reduce the symptoms of stomach pain. Accordingly, you should divide meals and absolutely do not eat a lot of hot, spicy and sour foods. Do not use alcoholic beverages, stimulants such as beer, wine, ... should rest after eating, avoid stress and avoid exercise 2-3 hours after eating. If her pain is a lot, she needs to see a gastroenterologist so that the doctors can have the best solution for her so as not to affect the health of the mother as well as the baby. Thank you for sending your question to Vinmec Health System.
