Women require increased monitoring during pregnancy, particularly if they encounter little health concerns such as headaches, vision problems, or ringing in the ears. Because expectant mothers also experience tinnitus, which affects 15% of the population, and although its exact function hasn\u2019t been determined, it would seem to be caused by muscular, vascular, or nerve problems. But what are the causes of ringing in the ears during pregnancy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For pregnant women, as with anyone, ringing in the ears may be caused by earwax buildup, acoustic damage caused by repeated exposure to a high sound volume, a long-term medical treatment, cardiovascular disorders, bite problems, or \u2013 more rarely \u2013 more serious diseases such as Meniere’s disease, otosclerosis, or a tumour in the ear. Although these causes aren\u2019t the most common in expectant mothers, it\u2019s necessary to consult a doctor about them anyway, since these symptoms are an additional source of stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some expectant mothers who suffer from tinnitus during their pregnancies already had high blood pressure before becoming pregnant. For others, it\u2019s the first time that this phenomenon has occurred, sometimes accompanied by headaches, dizziness, or vision problems. These are usually signs of hypertension that can go unnoticed, hence the need to be extremely vigilant. The best treatment for this type of symptom is absolute rest in a lying position, possibly accompanied by hypotensors, depending on the decision of the doctor. Of course, a suitable healthy lifestyle is essential for reducing the risks of tinnitus, especially avoiding tobacco and stress and limiting your physical activity, which requires particular effort and helps increase the tension. If the symptoms persist despite treatment, it\u2019s necessary to consider delivery, since the foetus can\u2019t feed properly if the blood vessels in the placenta become blocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expectant mothers may also suffer from ringing in the ears due to increased progesterone production. The body produces ten times as much of this particularly active hormone during pregnancy. These are signs telling the pregnant women that it\u2019s time to take it easy and take care of herself by watching her diet, doing some exercise, and \u2013 above all \u2013 getting some rest. CDs of white noise or natural ambient noises such as waterfalls or birdsong can also help you stay calmer and reduce ringing in the ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A common condition during pregnancy, preeclampsia is a disease characterized by a spike in blood pressure associated with an increase of protein in the urine and the occurrence of tinnitus. It affects around 5% of pregnant women, especially future mothers expecting their first child. While it\u2019s responsible for one-third of very premature births, regular monitoring helps prevent serious complications in most cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ringing in the ears is often a warning sign for pregnant women, who should interpret it as a warning and immediately get some rest. However, as is the case when any symptoms occur, especially in expectant mothers, the best thing to do if you experience tinnitus is to immediately consult a doctor, since it\u2019s an additional source of stress. Even if, in most cases, tinnitus is only a symptom of mild disorders, it can sometimes be a sign of a serious illness that should be treated without delay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
