Abstract

Pregnancy rhinitis (PR), a common condition in pregnant women, is defined as long-lasting nasal congestion due to mucosal swelling and increased secretion without any signs of infection, allergy or tumor, starting at any time during pregnancy and disappearing within 2 weeks of delivery. Smoking and a sensitization to house dust mites are known risk factors. While a definitive pathophysiological concept for PR does not exist, hormonal influences are discussed. We present a stepwise therapeutic strategy for PR and an overview to the latest literature.
