Abstract
Background
The aim of this study was to evaluate hyperemesis gravidarum in pregnant women and its psychological impact.
Methods
This retrospective study included 109 pregnant females suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum admitted during 2019–2020 at Maternity Ain shams university hospital.
Results
Disease severity and laboratory investigations such as Na and K levels (P = 0.007 and < 0.001, respectively) and serum creatinine level (P < 0.001) were significantly positively correlated. Depressive symptoms included guilt feeling for leaving family (49.5% patients), suicidal thoughts (9.2%), crying (56.9%) and lost concentration (33.9%).
Conclusions
Medical staff should be aware of psychological impact of the disease and refer to specialists if needed.
