Severe Itching in Pregnancy: Causes, Liver Issues & When to Seek Help | Gleneagles Hospital

At Gleneagles Hospital, we are witnessing a rising number of pregnant women presenting with a troubling condition—pruritus, or intense itching all over the body. This discomfort can appear as early as the first trimester or later in the second and third trimesters, often becoming so severe that it affects sleep and overall well-being. Subscribe this channel:    / @gleneagleshospitalsindia   According to Dr. Joy Varghese, Senior Consultant in Hepatology, one of the contributing factors could be the excessive use of hormonal pills, such as progesterone, taken before conception for menstrual regulation or fertility support. These hormonal changes may trigger intense itching during pregnancy. In many of these cases, when we perform a Liver Function Test (LFT), we observe elevated liver enzyme levels, indicating stress on the liver. While effective medications are available to manage the symptoms, some cases become resistant to treatment, leaving early delivery or pregnancy termination as the only safe option for the mother’s health. Dr. Joy Varghese highlights the importance of early diagnosis and regular monitoring during pregnancy to manage pruritus effectively. If you or someone you know is experiencing similar symptoms, don't ignore it—timely medical intervention is crucial.
