Pregnancy-associated rhinitis is infrequent, affecting 9% of women. Strict criteria revealed this condition is less common than previously thought, potentially linked to hormonal shifts.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Allergy and Immunology

Background:

  • Pregnancy-associated rhinitis is a poorly defined condition.
  • Previous incidence estimates may be inaccurate due to vague diagnostic criteria.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the true incidence of pregnancy-associated rhinitis.
  • To apply strict, up-to-date diagnostic criteria for accurate assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 109 primigravida parturients.
  • Structured interviews and detailed rhinoscopy were performed.
  • Defined pregnancy-associated rhinitis as symptoms present for ≥2 months during pregnancy and resolving postpartum.

Main Results:

  • The incidence of pregnancy-associated rhinitis at delivery was 9%.
  • No significant correlation was found between reported symptoms and rhinoscopic signs.
  • The condition appears to be an infrequent clinical entity.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pregnancy-associated rhinitis is less common than previously reported.
    • Hormonal changes during pregnancy may contribute to its development.
    • Altered sensation of nasal airflow could also play a role.
