Nombres alternativos

Náuseas persistentes en el embarazo; Vómitos persistentes en el embarazo

Definición:

Es la presencia de náuseas y vómitos intensos y persistentes durante el embarazo que pueden conducir a la deshidratación.

Causas, incidencia y factores de riesgo:

Casi todas las mujeres experimentan náuseas o vómitos o "náuseas del embarazo", particularmente durante el primer trimestre del embarazo. Se cree que la causa de las náuseas y el vómito durante el embarazo es una elevación rápida de los niveles séricos de HGC (gonadotropina coriónica humana), secretada por la placenta.

Las náuseas y los vómitos intensos durante el embarazo pueden suceder en caso de estar esperando gemelos (o más) o tener una mola hidatiforme.
