What are the reasons for diarrhea in the first month of pregnancy

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women have certain restrictions on medication use. Frequent diarrhea, the proximity of the rectum to the uterus, and the possibility of rectal stimulation affecting the uterus leading to threatened miscarriage should be considered. It is best to undergo an ultrasound examination and a routine stool test to rule out the possibility of dysentery. If the diarrhea is mild, Loperamide (Imodium) can be taken orally, as the medication does not enter the bloodstream and is safe for the fetus. Additionally, drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration and consume fresh vegetables and fruits to replenish vitamins.
