Intestinal spasms are actually abdominal pain caused by the contraction of the intestinal wall, and many people believe that intestinal spasms only occur in children. In fact, pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy can also experience intestinal spasms. So, what are the effects of intestinal spasms in the early stages of pregnancy?
Early pregnancy with intestinal spasms can also cause uterine spasms, and the fetus is in the mother's uterus, so it will inevitably be affected. If intestinal spasms are severe, it may also affect the life of the fetus.
Since pregnant women's intestinal spasms can affect the fetus, what should be done to alleviate intestinal spasms?
1. Avoid taking medication indiscriminately. Generally, the occurrence of intestinal spasms in ordinary people is treated with medication, but for pregnant women, it is best not to use medication because some components in the medication can affect the development of the fetus.
2. Physical methods to alleviate. Since medication is no longer possible, physical methods can be used to relieve intestinal spasms, such as massaging the painful area or applying hot compress to the affected area with a hot towel, which can alleviate the pain.
3. Pay more attention to your diet. In fact, improper diet can also cause intestinal spasms. Therefore, it is important to have a light diet and avoid eating too salty or spicy, as this can stimulate the intestines. Additionally, it is recommended to eat less or avoid foods that produce gas, and to keep the abdomen warm.
