Patient's question:
Female, 27 years old, with very severe morning sickness symptoms, constantly vomiting. Recently, she found herself feeling particularly uncomfortable and having poor spirits, so she came to ask: What should be done about constipation during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Constipation is a common symptom during pregnancy. Generally, dietary adjustments can be made first. You can eat some foods that promote bowel movement, such as honey, oats, fruits, and so on. If this doesn't work, you can take oral medication like lactulose, which is available at pharmacies and is effective, safe, and reliable. Patients with constipation should also eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and engage in appropriate physical exercise. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
