How to deal with abdominal bloating during pregnancy

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it is always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. How should pregnant women deal with abdominal bloating?

Doctor's answer:

After pregnancy, the uterus enlarges, and the increased pressure from the fundus compresses the stomach. This leads to slow gastrointestinal motility, relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, and reflux of stomach contents that irritates the esophageal mucosa, causing a burning sensation and associated adverse symptoms.
Hello, gynecological examinations are not recommended during the menstrual period. If there are difficulties with conception, it is advisable to wait for about one to two weeks after the menstrual period to undergo the examination. The male partner should also cooperate with the examination.
