Pregnancy cholestasis is a liver dysfunction caused by pregnancy. Cholestasis usually occurs during the last 3 months of pregnancy. It is characterized by skin itching and jaundice. Symptoms are most obvious on the hands and feet. Intense itching can cause patients to scratch the skin until it is broken. If your skin is extremely itchy during pregnancy, you may have pregnancy cholestasis. Serious pregnancy cholestasis may also lead to fetus death. Once you are diagnosed, it is necessary to pay close attention to the health status of the fetus. C-section before the due date is safer for the fetus.
