Hyperemesis Gravidarum treatment in Ciudad de México

When a pregnant person has nausea and vomiting so intense and persistent that they interfere with eating and hydration, it may be hyperemesis gravidarum. It goes beyond the usual morning discomfort of pregnancy and can lead to weight loss and imbalances.

Warning signs: repeated vomiting that prevents keeping down food or liquids, weakness, dizziness, decreased amount of urine, and weight loss.

When to seek care? It is reasonable to seek care promptly when the vomiting does not let up and it becomes impossible to stay hydrated or nourished.

Which specialist treats it? The general practitioner can make the first evaluation; the gastroenterologist helps rule out other digestive causes and the clinical nutritionist supports the management of nutrition. Addressing hyperemesis gravidarum in time protects the well-being of the mother and the pregnancy.
