Pregnant women should not take medication indiscriminately when experiencing diarrhea symptoms, whether it is anti-inflammatory drugs or antidiarrheal drugs. Improper use can cause great harm to the baby's body. Traditional Chinese medicine supports pregnant women to relieve discomfort through massage when experiencing diarrhea symptoms. So, where is the massage for pregnant women with diarrhea?
When pregnant women experience symptoms of diarrhea, they can massage some related therapeutic acupoints on the body to achieve good relief effects, such as the Xiali acupoint and the Tianshu acupoint. Generally, quick relief can be obtained by massaging these two acupoints, and the duration of each press should not be too long, usually around five minutes.
In addition, massaging the heels of pregnant women can also relieve symptoms of diarrhea by pressing the heels of the feet about 18 times. The hand yin and yang massage also has a good effect. The side of the thumb is called the yang pool, and the side of the little finger is the yin pool. By massaging the two sides towards the center of the horizontal line and separating them towards both sides, it can effectively relieve and stop diarrhea.
The common causes of diarrhea in pregnant women are indigestion, intestinal inflammation, and so on. If frequent diarrhea occurs, early medication should be taken to alleviate the symptoms. When experiencing abdominal pain, a slightly hot towel can be used for hot compress, while being careful not to eat foods that are difficult to digest and irritating.
