Hyperemesis gravidarum is a serious condition characterized by intense nausea and vomiting during pregnancy that causes weight loss, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies[1][3]. This condition affects approximately 0.5 to 2% of pregnant women[2] and usually begins in the first six weeks of pregnancy, with symptoms often worsening between weeks 9 and 13[1]. Hyperemesis gravidarum differs from normal morning sickness in that women are unable to keep food or fluids down and vomit more than three times a day[4]. The physical and psychological consequences of this condition can be severe – women can have problems with daily activities and face an increased risk of psychological problems including anxiety and depression[1]. The cause of hyperemesis gravidarum is not completely known, but it is thought to be related to an increase in hormone levels, especially human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)[1][7]. Most women experience relief between 14 and 20 weeks of pregnancy, but up to 20% of women may require care throughout the rest of their pregnancy[1]. Treatment for mild cases involves dietary changes and rest, while more severe cases require hospitalization with intravenous fluids and nutrition[1].
