What is prenatal syndrome? In fact, prenatal syndrome refers to prenatal depression.

Many manifestations of prenatal syndrome are very negative and depressed, which is actually very harmful to pregnant women.
So how to deal with prenatal syndrome? What is prenatal syndrome? According to the survey, the vast majority of pregnant women develop prenatal syndrome. In fact, simply speaking, prenatal syndrome is prenatal depression.
Prenatal syndrome actually refers to the fact that some pregnant women experience serious prenatal depression, such as depression, loss of appetite, extreme insecurity, etc.
Moreover, pregnant women with prenatal syndrome will also become more sensitive to changes in the outside world. For example, if her husband's behavior during this period does not meet the pregnant woman's expectations, the pregnant woman will have various negative emotions. This psychological state that contrasts with the usual mentality is prenatal depression.
In fact, prenatal syndrome still causes great psychological harm to pregnant women, so when a pregnant woman at home is found to have symptoms of prenatal syndrome, timely psychological adjustment is needed.
Avoid pregnant women from hurting themselves and their fetus because of negative emotions.
Manifestations of prenatal syndrome Prenatal syndrome is actually very harmful to pregnant women. When talking about the manifestations of prenatal syndrome, they are actually mainly manifested in many aspects.
The most direct thing is mental suppression.
According to surveys, 98% of pregnant women generally suffer from prenatal syndrome, and the manifestations of prenatal syndrome among pregnant women are also different.
However, the manifestations are all negative, and prenatal syndrome mainly has the following manifestations.
1. I just can't be interested in everything, think that everything is not fun, and it's difficult to concentrate.
2. Pregnant women are very emotional, extremely irritable or irritable, but more often they cry for no reason.
3. Difficulty sleeping or too much sleep, and excessive or uninterrupted fatigue.
4. overeating or not wanting to eat, always feel that life has no hope, always depressed, and the ups and downs of emotions come quickly.
Why do pregnant women have prenatal syndrome? In fact, in many aspects, prenatal syndrome occurs because pregnant women "think too much", and it is because thinking too much can cause psychological stress, which in turn produces prenatal syndrome.
In many cases, prenatal syndrome is mainly manifested as anxiety among pregnant women. Some pregnant women are afraid that their child is deformed. Even if they undergo multiple prenatal examinations, it is still difficult to detect because of some diseases in the fetus. So anxiety is still indispensable during pregnancy. Some pregnant women are worried about their own production process. Many urban women often give birth for the first time, and their understanding of the delivery process often comes from film and television, which is somewhat exaggerated, so many pregnant women inevitably have some worries before giving birth, causing a lot of anxiety.
Some pregnant women are worried about the gender of the fetus. In fact, many times people still cannot correctly view the birth of boys and girls. People's subconscious likes and dislikes of the gender of the fetus will also put invisible pressure on pregnant women.
Women who suffer from prenatal complications such as pregnancy induced hypertension syndrome, pregnancy complicated with heart disease, pregnancy complicated with heart disease are also prone to anxiety due to their own health problems and fear of harming the fetus.
Sometimes pregnant women have difficulty moving in the second or third trimester of pregnancy, closed at home all day, focusing on various negative factors, exacerbating anxiety.
Generally, after pregnant women become pregnant, their bodies will change in many aspects. In fact, this is a very normal phenomenon, but many pregnant women will cause a lot of psychological stress due to this.
For example, if the skin spasms and itching, the abdominal wall skin is tight, swollen and other discomforts, it makes the heart irritable and prone to anxiety. Sometimes, you may worry that you will not be able to work normally after childbirth or have financial problems, which will add to the psychological burden.
The harm of prenatal syndrome In fact, prenatal syndrome is very harmful to patients. Although many pregnant women will have prenatal syndrome, if the prenatal syndrome is serious, it may even cause miscarriage.
Because many times, the emotions of a pregnant woman will directly affect the baby. For example, prenatal anxiety in pregnant women will make cesarean section and midwifery twice as high as normal pregnant women.
This is very likely to cause an increase in the duration of labor, and anxiety can also lead to increased secretion of adrenaline by pregnant women, resulting in metabolic acidosis and causing fetal hypoxia.
If the prenatal syndrome is not improved by the time of delivery, it is very dangerous for the process of childbirth.
If it's during pregnancy, then the over-anxiety of a pregnant woman during the 4-10 weeks of pregnancy may cause fetal cleft lip and palate.
The sudden changes in a pregnant woman's mental state, such as shock or fear, sorrow, or other reasons, can lead to excessive tension in the brain's cerebral cortex and internal organs. This imbalance can disrupt the balance between the circulatory system functions, potentially causing premature detachment of the placenta, even leading to fetal death.
Therefore, for pregnant women with severe prenatal syndrome, it is generally advised to promptly introduce psychological treatment to avoid further harm to the mother and fetus caused by negative emotions.
The treatment methods for prenatal syndrome mainly include pharmacotherapy, physical therapy, electroshock and psychotherapy. In fact, these four treatments have their own advantages and disadvantages. Below we will analyze the treatment methods of these four kinds of prenatal syndrome.
Medication therapy: Medication appears to be the most common treatment method, and "take medication for illness" has become a common practice. However, when it comes to pregnant women, this seemingly normal treatment method is not the best one.
Currently, Tricyclic antidepressants remain the first-line treatment for depression.
The second generation of atypical antidepressants is the second line.
Various tricyclic antidepressants have similar efficacy, and clinical selection can be made based on the severity of depression and sedation, side effects and patient tolerance.
Although these medications can alleviate prenatal syndrome, the side effects are relatively large. This does not provide good results for both the pregnant woman and her fetus.
Physical therapy: Physical therapy primarily works by increasing the secretion of 5-HT, facilitating the release of norepinephrine, and enhancing the excitability of neuronal activity. This process is believed to be effective in alleviating depressive moods in individuals.
By promoting the secretion of endorphins with sedative effects, it can help patients maintain a relaxed and comfortable mental state, which is conducive to better alleviating previous negative and depressive mood states.
Additionally, by enhancing the patient's electroencephalogram and various physiological indicators, it can improve the physical symptoms of patients with depression.
Because of the better results, physiotherapy is often used to treat prenatal syndrome.
Electroconvulsive therapy: Electroconvulsive therapy is primarily utilized for patients with severe prenatal syndrome. Generally, it is applied to individuals with strong suicidal tendencies, whereby immediate effects can be achieved through electroconvulsive therapy. Once the condition stabilizes, medication is then used for consolidation.
Patients with depression should strictly prevent self-harm and suicide, endeavor to make pregnant women feel happy, and generally do not use electroconvulsive therapy.
Psychological therapy: Psychological therapy is the most common treatment method because it directly addresses pregnant women's psychological concerns. The role of psychological therapy in the treatment of this condition is crucial, but it is usually combined with pharmacotherapy and physical therapy, as psychological therapy alone often fails to fully alleviate the psychological stress associated with pregnancy.
