Description

Portable low frequency generation pad

The present invention relates to a portable low-frequency generating pad, and more particularly, to a portable low-frequency generating pad that is integrally formed to be portable and easy to use.

In general, morning sickness experienced by pregnant women occurs mainly in the early stages of pregnancy, and its cause is known as an increase in hormone (HCG) released from the placenta or mental anxiety or stress caused by pregnancy. It usually manifests as vomiting, nausea, nausea, loss of appetite, and changes in food preferences, but usually disappears within five months.

According to the survey on the morning sickness experience of pregnant women, the morning sickness experience or relief was different according to the age, acetic acid or mountain birth, job status, educational attainment level, income level, and the place of residence. The result was different according to the sex of the birth child.

Due to this morning sickness, pregnant women are sensitive to odors, which lowers their preference for certain foods or makes them inedible. As a result, food intake is irregular and weight loss may occur. In addition, if vomiting becomes severe, water and minerals in the body may be lost, and sometimes dehydration may occur. This can adversely affect the development and nutritional status of the fetus along with phobia or other mental conflict, so clinical and nutritional care must be taken when morning sickness is severe.

Looking for solutions to relieve morning sickness symptoms, mainly using herbal medicine, Western medicine, or intravenous injection, vitamin B6 is administered to reduce the symptoms of pregnant women with severe vomiting and nausea. However, drug abuse, including these supplements, may have undesirable consequences for the fetus, such as drinking or smoking, so medications should be used on a limited basis under the guidance of a physician.

Meanwhile, referring to Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2001-0032517, although not a device for treating morning sickness, a treatment device for treating vomiting or nausea by applying a low frequency current to a living body has been known.
