Patient's question:
Female, 24 years old, after pregnancy, feeling uncomfortable all over, always feeling dizzy, always feeling like vomiting, occasionally having constipation symptoms. I want to ask here if there are any quick methods for constipation in pregnant women.Doctor's answer:
For severe constipation, you can take sufficient amounts of laxatives orally, such as honey, rhubarb, or use suppositories like glycerin enemas. Develop the habit of having a bowel movement. Go to the toilet at the same time every day upon waking up, after an early meal, or before bed. Whether you feel the urge or not, make sure to go to the toilet at the scheduled time. With long-term persistence, you will develop the habit of having a bowel movement at the same time.It is recommended to eat more fiber-rich vegetables (such as chives, celery, spinach, etc.) and fresh fruits. Encourage yourself to drink plenty of water or honey water, jujubes, sesame, and walnuts, as these also help moisturize the lungs and promote bowel movement. Regular exercise can stabilize the movement of the gastrointestinal tract, significantly improve the muscle tone of the abdomen and perineum, and thus help maintain smooth bowel movements.
