Hyperemesis Gravidarum IV Therapy in Bergen County, NJ
Hyperemesis Gravidarum: IV Support for Severe Pregnancy Nausea
When morning sickness becomes severe enough to cause dehydration and weight loss, IV fluid and nutrient support can make a real difference for both mother and baby. At Specialty Infusions in Teaneck, serving all of Bergen County, NJ, hyperemesis gravidarum IV therapy is given in a private suite with a physician onsite for every visit.
What is hyperemesis gravidarum?
Hyperemesis gravidarum is a severe form of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy that goes well beyond typical morning sickness, often leading to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and significant weight loss if not addressed. It most commonly develops in the first trimester but can persist longer for some patients.
Because it can prevent adequate fluid and nutrient intake, hyperemesis gravidarum sometimes requires more support than dietary changes and anti-nausea medication alone can provide.
How hyperemesis gravidarum IV therapy helps
IV electrolyte replacement corrects the dehydration and mineral imbalances caused by persistent vomiting, while IV thiamine helps prevent a serious complication (Wernicke's encephalopathy) that can occur with prolonged vomiting and poor nutrition.
IV antiemetic medication can also be given directly through the infusion, providing faster, more reliable relief from nausea than oral medication when vomiting is preventing pills from staying down.
