Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for more than four months. I would like to ask the doctor if it is possible for fetal demise to occur if a pregnant woman strains during urination.Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, if constipation recurs, straining during a bowel movement can increase abdominal pressure. This may sometimes stimulate uterine contractions, leading to miscarriage or premature birth. Therefore, it's essential to pay close attention in the future. Consume more fresh fruits and vegetables daily to minimize the recurrence of constipation. Additionally, develop the habit of regular bowel movements. Avoid spicy foods and engage in light activity to prevent prolonged sitting.
