Constipation makes people feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable, and for ordinary people, constipation is already very uncomfortable. If constipation symptoms occur, timely measures should be taken to treat it, otherwise constipation will only become more and more severe. So, will constipation occur during pregnancy?
After pregnancy, the hormones in the pregnant woman's body undergo changes, with significant fluctuations in the endocrine system. Under the influence of estrogen during pregnancy, constipation symptoms may occur. After pregnancy, the amount of exercise for pregnant women is limited, resulting in less activity and a higher risk of constipation. In addition, the enlargement of the uterus after pregnancy may compress the gastrointestinal tract, hindering normal peristalsis and increasing the risk of constipation.
Pregnant women are prone to constipation, so in the absence of medication treatment, they can only alleviate constipation through dietary adjustments and other methods. Vegetables and miscellaneous grains are the best food for constipation. Pregnant women usually consume a lot of tonics, and eating too much can also hinder bowel movements. Therefore, it is necessary to eat some fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to promote intestinal peristalsis. Fruits such as apples and pears can be eaten more frequently. And coarse grains can include red beans, oats, etc.
Pregnant women can also develop the good habit of regular bowel movements. Waking up in the morning and after meals are the golden time for the body to have a desire to defecate. Pregnant women should seize this opportunity, drink a cup of honey water after waking up, walk appropriately, increase intestinal motility, and facilitate the next bowel movements. If you persist for a long time, your body will adapt to this habit, which can improve constipation.
