How to regulate constipation during pregnancy better?

Patient's question:

Female, 27 years old, with very severe morning sickness symptoms. She is constantly dry heaving, and recently she has found herself feeling particularly uncomfortable and having very poor mental state. Therefore, she is asking how to better regulate constipation during pregnancy.

Doctor's answer:

Constipation is usually closely related to lifestyle and diet. It can be prevented and alleviated by eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. If constipation occurs occasionally, you can try digesting some foods like honey, bananas, and yogurt. If it doesn't improve, it is recommended to try medications that promote intestinal movement, which can help with bowel movements. These medications take effect relatively quickly. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable Grade-A hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
