These feelings are growing stronger with increasing duration of pregnancy. In most cases it turns out that there is a dyskinesia of the gall bladder and bile ducts.

Dyskinesia biliary tract is not as innocuous as it may seem at the first glance, as it contributes to the development of the inflammatory process kamneobrazovaniu. And on the contrary - dyskinesia may be one of the manifestations of cholelithiasis, chronic cholecystitis, anomalies of development of the biliary tract.

Between biliary system and other organs of the digestive existence of various anatomical, functional and hormonal communication, they have a substantial impact on the operation of the system. So, for example, intake of food in the stomach is not the only cause mechanical irritation of the receptors of the stomach, but often also increases the choleresis and motor activity of the biliary tract.

The motor function of the gall bladder and bile ducts to a large extent depends on the state of the nervous system: so, dystonia of the autonomic nervous system can violate the consistency of reduction of muscles of the gall bladder and relaxation of the tone of sphincters and cause a delay bile. An important role in causing psoriasis may also play a psychogenic factors, as it is often the result and one of the clinical manifestations of the General neurosis.

Muscle weakness biliary tract sometimes is constitutional (associated with the peculiarities of the Constitution) the nature, sometimes provoked by unbalanced nutrition, or may be the result of hormonal imbalance.

However, "in passing" relax and other smooth muscle bodies, including the gall bladder. In the basis of hypomotor dyskinesia is weak, inadequate emptying of the gall bladder, leading to its strain and the pain.

The occurrence of psoriasis may be connected with the pure mechanical reasons: the growing uterus puts pressure, "pinching" the organs of the thoracic cavity, including the liver and gall bladder, as a result can disrupt the normal process of bile.

A woman is usually bother dull aching pain in the right hypochondrium (which may apply to epigastric region), feeling of heaviness, a feeling of pressure in this area, often accompanied by loss of appetite, nausea, a feeling of bitterness in the mouth, the hangover of air, heartburn, abdominal distention.

Excessive emotions, emotional stress, and sometimes the errors in the diet reinforcing or provoke pain and a feeling of expansion in your hypochondrium. May experience pain in the heart, palpitation, headache, numbness of limbs, sweating, sleep disturbance - doctors call these symptoms of a picture of vegetative crises.
