The process of pregnancy is long and arduous, during which pregnant women need to endure a lot of physical pain. Under the influence of pregnancy, the gastrointestinal health of pregnant women may be affected. For example, some pregnant women often experience abdominal distension during pregnancy, which is very painful. Let's learn how to relieve abdominal distension in pregnant women?
Pregnant women are prone to symptoms of bloating, which are related to changes in hormones during pregnancy. Elevated progesterone levels can inhibit gastrointestinal function, leading to bloating. Pregnant women can drink some hot water in moderation to warm their stomach, or use a hot water bag to apply heat to the stomach, which can alleviate bloating symptoms. Pay attention to eating small and frequent meals in daily life, avoid overeating, and try to focus on easily digestible foods instead of raw and cold foods.
During pregnancy, bloating may also be caused by an imbalance in the gut microbiota. Pregnant women can supplement with probiotics under the guidance of a doctor to improve the gut microbiota environment. When the gut microbiota is balanced, bloating symptoms can also be alleviated. If pregnant women have severe bloating, appropriate medication can be used under the guidance of a doctor for treatment.
In order to reduce bloating during pregnancy, pregnant women should pay attention to their diet and avoid overeating. Sitting for a long time or not exercising for a long time can also cause bloating. Pregnant women should exercise appropriately after meals and take slow walks to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, thereby relieving bloating symptoms. You can also eat some white radish in your daily life, as white radish also has an exhaust effect.
