Patient's question:
Recently, I went to the mall and noticed that the chestnuts on the street smelled particularly fragrant, so I also wanted to eat a little. However, I am currently pregnant and cannot eat whatever I like. In the past, I used to eat freely, but I want to ask if pregnant women can get constipation from eating chestnuts?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women should not eat too many chestnuts, as excessive consumption can lead to constipation. Generally, it is recommended not to consume more than ten per day, which is beneficial for the body. During pregnancy, it is essential to maintain a cheerful mood and a balanced diet, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins. Pay attention to rest and avoid overexertion, while maintaining a good sleep schedule. Delaying treatment can have negative effects on the child.
