What should a pregnant woman do if she has bloody stools?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In the case of rectal bleeding during pregnancy, it is often caused by hemorrhoids. Pregnancy tends to lead to constipation, which can then trigger hemorrhoids. It is recommended that you engage in as much non-strenuous exercise as possible while ensuring safety. Activities such as walking are suitable. Moderate physical activity can help pregnant women have smooth bowel movements and prevent constipation.
