Swollen hands and feet in pregnancy should first be judged whether it is physiological or pathological swelling, and then targeted intervention.
If the swelling of the hands and feet is caused by obstruction of the inferior vena cava, it is physiologic and can be relieved by reducing the obstruction of the inferior vena cava. For example, after lying down, elevate the feet to make it easier for blood to return to the heart, or cushion the feet when sitting, and walk appropriately, using leg muscle contraction to promote blood circulation back to the heart.
Pathological edema, such as gestational hypertension, hypothyroidism, etc., can cause swelling of the hands and feet during pregnancy, such need to go to the hospital for blood pressure, thyroid function monitoring, and give active symptomatic treatment.
For example, patients with gestational hypertension syndrome should be given drugs such as nifedipine to lower blood pressure, and hypothyroidism should be treated with drugs such as levothyroxine sodium tablets. When the condition is serious, hospitalization is needed to intervene so as not to endanger the life of the pregnant woman.
Specific treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
