Patient's question:
During pregnancy, it is always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. How should intestinal cramps in pregnant women be treated?Doctor's answer:
Massage the ST36 (Zusanli) acupoint. Pay attention to getting plenty of rest and eating fewer stimulating foods. This is because the small intestine may experience spasmodic contractions, similar to cramps, after being stimulated by certain factors (such as inflammation or blockage by hard food), losing its normal relaxed and rhythmic contractions. Hello, during pregnancy, a mother's diet should be balanced, with a focus on consuming high-quality proteins. You can supplement with pregnancy formula milk or pregnancy vitamins. If weight gain is a concern, pregnancy vitamins are a good option, as they contain various vitamins. Additionally, the third month of pregnancy is the first peak period for fetal brain development, making it ideal to supplement with DHA, a brain nutrient that promotes brain development.
