During pregnancy, many unexpected symptoms appear, including a change in the taste of food, known as dysgeusia. 92 percent of pregnant women report that they have taste problems, including dyspasia that affects women during the first trimester of pregnancy.
hormones are the biggest cause, as the rapid rise in estrogen and progesterone levels affects the sense of taste, and these hormones also affect saliva and make it more acidic, which affects the flavor of food. Dyspasia does not cause overall health damage, but it does affect appetite and may cause food avoidance.
