Vomiting during pregnancy is currently one of the causes of hospitalization in early pregnancy patients, with severe nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and anorexia, and even vomiting after ingestion being the main clinical symptoms. In recent years, Western medicine still adopts routine fluid replacement and nutritional support, as well as treatment methods such as antiemetic and ketone lowering. Although it can temporarily improve the clinical manifestations of patients, the recurrence rate is high and seriously reduces the quality of life of patients. On the basis of traditional Chinese medicine theory, traditional Chinese medicine has proposed specific dialectical treatment plans for hyperemesis gravidarum, with excellent clinical results. This article will explore the treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum based on traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation, summarize the strategies and research progress of traditional Chinese medicine in treating hyperemesis gravidarum, and provide a certain reference basis for future clinical treatment.
