Patient's question:
Brother-in-law's wife has now been carrying the baby for over 20 weeks, and her constipation has become more severe. Her previous methods no longer work, and eating fruits and roughage foods also don't help. How can you quickly solve constipation in the later stages of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Your relatives currently have this situation and need to pay more attention to their diet. It's best to eat small meals frequently and avoid lying down too much during winter activities. The key to constipation is first to pay attention to bowel habits and lifestyle issues. You must avoid spicy foods. Develop a regular bowel movement habit, and when you feel the urge, you must go to the toilet as soon as possible. Eat more vegetables, bananas, and sweet potatoes daily. This will definitely stabilize the condition.Additionally, if you haven't had a bowel movement for a few days, you can use glycerin suppositories or soap sticks to lubricate the rectum for bowel movement. However, the movements must be gentle to prevent injury to the intestines.
