Suggest Treatment For Cholestasis
Hi I have a friend who is 37 weeks pregnant and has been diagnosed with cholestasis, she has been given anti-itch cream and sent home without further monitoring. She is in a lot of pain and I remember when I had cholestasis with my first son I was given frequent blood tests and induced at 38 weeks. Why wont her doctor help her and can cholestasis cause damage to the baby? Thankyou

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can.
I am not sure why. This is not usual condition in pregnancy and exact cause of colestasis should be defined. It may be obstruction of biliary ducts or liver damage. She needs more appropriate treatment if you ask me.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
