Patient's question:
I have always had constipation, but after giving birth to my child, I developed severe constipation. Later, taking traditional Chinese medicine helped me overcome it. However, in October 2014, I experienced constipation again, and medication resolved it. Now, I am constipated and find it difficult to relieve.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many reasons that can cause constipation, such as: lack of exercise, insufficient diet, insufficient water intake, irregular sleep patterns, poor gastrointestinal motility, and so on. You can appropriately improve your lifestyle, or you can also take some medication appropriately. Generally, doctors will advise women with postpartum consultation risks to pay attention to keeping warm and avoid coldness. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to having a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
