Patient's question:
Female, 25 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 can be done about constipation during pregnancy?"Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, the sluggish movement of gastrointestinal smooth muscles makes it easier to experience symptoms of constipation again or worsen existing constipation. It is recommended to avoid spicy, fried, and easily irritating foods to prevent overexertion. Drinking more water, eating more vegetables and fruits, and developing good bowel habits are helpful. When you feel the urge to defecate, it is important to go to the bathroom promptly. You can also frequently use Chinese herbal decoctions such as Sheng Di, Xuan Shen, and Mai Dong, which have the effect of moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movement. Doctor's inquiry.
