Causes of Swollen Nose During Pregnancy and Making You Feel Insecure

Dream - Pregnancy causes significant changes in the body compared to before. Not only does the stomach bulge, but also the facial area. For some mothers, they even experience significant swelling in the nose.

There is one condition known as pregnancy nose, one of the phenomena called "pregnant nose". The term describes a very swollen nose during pregnancy.

"Quite a lot of prospective mothers have uploaded their complaints about this condition on their personal social media accounts. Because besides lowering self-confidence, the change in the shape of the nose is also feared to be related to health conditions. Added to the fact that pregnant women are more susceptible to diseases. Do you know, Dream Friends, what causes this condition? Let's find out the facts!"

The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags is: "Blood flow increases."

According to Jessica Madden, a neonatology expert, during pregnancy, a mother often produces more mucus from the nose. Not only that, increased blood flow and excessive and unpredictable hormone production also frequently occur. This is what causes nasal congestion during pregnancy.

As mentioned earlier, pregnant women are more susceptible to a decrease in immune system, making them easily prone to diseases. One of the diseases commonly experienced by pregnant women is rhinitis or inflammation of the nasal cavity.

Rhinitis causes sufferers to sneeze, experience a stuffy nose, and continuously produce mucus. This can also be a cause of nasal swelling for pregnant mothers.

The condition can also worsen before giving birth. It is also important to remember that if pregnant women regularly receive infusions during pregnancy, it can also cause a swollen nose.

Swollen Nose Can Be Dangerous

Although it is a condition that is not necessary to worry about, swollen nose during pregnancy can also be caused by a serious condition, namely preeclampsia.

Preeclampsia is a condition of high blood pressure in pregnant mothers. It can cause edema (swelling), including in the nose. Usually occurs after 20 weeks of pregnancy and not only causes swelling, but also headaches and vision problems.

Other effects can cause premature delivery, abnormal birth weight in babies, and even seizures and strokes. So, mothers must be more cautious about this, yes!

"Will Swollen Nose During Pregnancy Disappear?"

"After giving birth, certainly some parts of a mother's body undergo changes, including swollen nose. But don't worry, because according to Dr. Madden, these changes are only temporary."

"Although the duration may vary, usually the swollen nose during pregnancy will return to normal around six weeks after giving birth. So, you don't need to worry too much if you experience this condition. Report by Marha Adani Putri / Source: Parents"
