I am in my 20 weeks pregnancy. Suddenly I noticed that my toenails are getting yellow. But my finger nails are normal means pinkish. I am very much worried. What is the reason behind this sudden change. Moreover, I don t use finger paints. I don t think it is fungal infection.

Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.


Thanks for a detailed query.

What happens is in pregnancy as the size of the uterus increases in presses upon the structures nearby. It presses to the vessels going all the way down to the legs and supplying the peripheries.

It should be compared clinically with physical examination by your OB/GYN Physician so as to rule out chances of anemia which also causes such issues in pregnancy. We need to see your Complete blood counts and Differentials blood test too for the same.
