Hi
Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP) can recur in subsequent pregnancies, so itching during your second trimesterâespecially with your previous historyâshould not be ignored.
Homeopathy should not be used to replace the investigations or treatment recommended by your obstetrician. LFTs alone may not be sufficient; your doctor may also advise serum bile acid testing and regular monitoring of your liver function and pregnancy depending on your symptoms and results.
There are homeopathic approaches that may be considered as supportive care for individual symptoms, but it would not be appropriate to recommend a specific medicine online without evaluating you, particularly during pregnancy.
Please consult your obstetrician promptly and share your previous ICP records. You may also consult me with your current reports so that your symptoms can be assessed and appropriate supportive guidance can be given alongside your pregnancy care.
Regards,
Dr. Jyothi Kadkol

In homeopathy, treatment is completely individualized. Rather than prescribing a generic medicine based solely on a disease label or a specific diagnosis, a homeopath selects a remedy that matches your unique physical, mental, and emotional symptom profile. Because no two individuals experience a condition in the exact same way, two patients with the same overall concern may receive entirely different remedies. So, it is my humble request to kindly consult online or visit homeopathy near you. Do not self medicate or take random suggestions posted on social media.

As ICP and LFT in pregnancy are the major health issues in pregnancy homoeopathy can help you out but it is never the alternate way for management of ICP. You have to follow your Obstetrics line of treatment hand in hand you can take homeopathy. As ICP is major health issue in pregnancy do not stop any medication prescribed by your OBG doctor and do all the testing properly..........

Hello,
Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP) is a liver disorder that occurs during pregnancy where the normal flow of bile slows down, leading to a buildup of bile acids in the bloodstream.
This results in generalized itching (often noticeable on the palms and soles) and altered Liver Function Tests (LFTs). Since you experienced ICP during your first pregnancy, it has a tendency to recur in subsequent pregnancies, which explains why you are seeing these symptoms develop in your second trimester.
ICP is a condition that requires close and regular monitoring by your gynecologist to ensure both your and the baby's safety.
While conventional management (such as UDCA and routine LFT/bile acid monitoring) is essential, homoeopathy can serve as an effective supportive therapy.
It helps manage the distressing itching and offers gentle liver support alongside your primary obstetric care.
For a detailed evaluation and personalized management plan, you can book your appointment directly on 915822545nine on whatsapp!
The new case consultation fee is ₹2000, which includes consultation charges, medicine preparation, and medicine delivery charges.
Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your concern. I understand you had ICP in your 1st pregnancy and are now experiencing itching in 2nd trimester of 2nd pregnancy.
Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP) is a high-risk condition and it tends to recur in subsequent pregnancies. Itching with altered LFT and raised bile acids needs close monitoring by your Gynecologist.
Homeopathy can be taken as a supportive therapy to help with itching and overall liver support, but it is NOT a replacement for your main treatment (like UDCA and regular LFT / Serum Bile Acid monitoring) prescribed by your gynecologist. Please do not stop or delay your allopathic treatment.
I would advise you to:
1. Immediately inform your gynecologist and get your LFT and Serum Bile Acid levels checked.
2. Continue regular fetal monitoring as advised.
3. If you wish to take homeopathic support, please book a detailed consultation where we can take your full history, current reports and ongoing medicines into consideration.
Wishing you a healthy pregnancy.

Pregnancy induced ICP can be well treated with homeopathic medicine effectively and without any side effects.
Homeopathic medicine would be the best solution for you as well as for your kid.
It needs to be treated in a holistic approach for complete recovery.
Just taking some allopathic medicines would cause side effects and can affect baby's health.
We do treat such cases with good results.
You need an expert Homeopathic physician asap.

Hello, I am Dr. Palle Sujana. Because you had Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP) in your first pregnancy, developing new body itching in your second trimester is a signal that needs immediate attention.
Homeopathy is a very safe, gentle, and non-toxic way to support your body during pregnancy. It can help soothe your skin and improve your overall well-being. However, because ICP can affect your baby's health, you must check your liver levels with your obstetrician right away. Homeopathy can work beautifully alongside your regular pregnancy doctor.Do contact me for detail case taking

Dear Patient,
Thank you for reaching out. Given your history of Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP) in your first pregnancy and the recent onset of itching during your current second trimester, taking prompt clinical action is essential.
Immediate Steps Recommended:
Consult Your Obstetrician Promptly:
Pruritus (itching) during the second or third trimester—especially with a history of ICP—requires immediate clinical evaluation. Your obstetrician will need to run essential diagnostic tests, including:
* Serum Total Bile Acids (TBA)
* Liver Function Tests (LFTs) (ALT, AST, Bilirubin, Alkaline Phosphatase)
Standard Medical Management: In conventional obstetrics, medications like Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) are standard first-line therapies used to reduce bile acid levels, relieve itching, and lower fetal risk.
Role of Homeopathy:
Individualized homeopathic remedies can be used alongside routine pregnancy care to help ease systemic discomfort.
For homoeopathic evaluation and treatment consult online or in clinic at Chinchwad or Pimple Saudagar with Dr Tanmay Palsule
Health Tips
General Comfort Measures for Itching:
Wear loose, breathable cotton clothing.
Use mild, fragrance-free skin moisturizers or emollient creams.
Avoid hot showers or baths, as warmth can aggravate itching.
Please contact your obstetrician or visit your maternity unit right away to schedule your lab tests. Keeping your medical team informed is the safest step for both you and your baby.

Hello, thank you for writing in, and for telling us your history so clearly. Knowing about your earlier ICP is really helpful, and acting on this early is the best thing you can do for yourself and your baby.
Itching in the second trimester, after ICP in your first pregnancy, should be taken seriously and checked soon. ICP is more likely to come back in a second pregnancy, and the itching often appears before the liver reports change. I'd like to be honest with you: there is no reliable evidence that homeopathy can control liver values or bile acids in ICP, so I wouldn't want you to depend on it to "maintain your LFTs". Homeopathy can sit alongside your care for general wellbeing in pregnancy, but your obstetrician's monitoring is the part that protects your baby. The good news is that when ICP is caught early and monitored, most women go on to have healthy babies.
Next Steps
Please contact your obstetrician in the next day or two and tell them about the itching and your history of ICP. Ask for a liver function test and a serum bile acid test, and a plan for follow-up scans and monitoring. Don't wait for the itching to get worse. Please seek care the same day if you notice reduced baby movements, dark urine, pale stools, yellowing of the eyes or skin, or itching that is intense, especially on the palms and soles or at night. Once you have your plan from your doctor, a video consult with me can help with the supportive side: diet, comfort measures and wellbeing through the rest of your pregnancy.
Health Tips
- Wear loose, soft cotton clothes, and keep your skin cool
- Take lukewarm showers, and pat skin dry gently without rubbing
- Keep your skin moisturised with a mild, fragrance-free moisturiser
- Avoid scratching, and keep your nails short
- Eat light, home-cooked, low-oil meals, with plenty of fluids, fruit and vegetables
- Avoid heavy, fried and spicy food, which can make you feel worse
- Track your baby's movements daily and note any change
- Keep all your antenatal visits and scans, and carry your old ICP reports with you
If you're still worried, do book a consult and we can look at it together. Take care.

Hai,
Itching over body is mainly due to hormonal imbalances.
As you have ICP, Homoeopathy is the best option. On taking individualised homoeopathic medicines, itching can be controlled and can maintain LFT levels without side effects.
Next Steps
You can easily take an online consultation - book video consultation for further treatment guidance.

Having had ICP before means you're at high risk of it happening again, so new itching this pregnancy needs to be taken seriously and checked rather than treated with homeopathy. There's no good evidence that homeopathy can control bile acid or LFT levels in ICP, and in pregnancy it isn't worth the risk of under-treating a condition that affects your baby's safety too.
Next Steps
Get your LFTs and bile acid levels tested now, and let your obstetrician know about the itching right away. If ICP is confirmed again, standard treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid under monitoring usually keeps both you and your baby safe.
Health Tips
See your doctor sooner if the itching is severe, worse on your palms and soles, or your urine turns dark.
