How should constipation during pregnancy be treated?

Patient's question:

Female, 26 years old, with very severe morning sickness symptoms, constantly vomiting. Recently, she found herself feeling particularly uncomfortable and having poor mental state. Therefore, she is asking how to treat constipation during pregnancy.

Doctor's answer:

The intestinal peristalsis becomes weaker, and increased activity may lead to constipation in pregnant women. Meals must be taken regularly. It is also appropriate to accompany the pregnant woman for a walk to increase physical activity, drink more water or honey water to relax her mood, and consume dietary fiber appropriately for proper digestion. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal Grade 3-A hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations based on their own conditions to achieve symptomatic treatment and recover quickly.
