Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for six months recently, but constipation has reappeared, which is particularly painful. Recently, I haven't had a bowel movement for several days. I want to understand how to use a soap stick for constipation during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
When constipated, using a soap stick will never be transmitted to the baby through the anus, so there is no need to worry excessively. Pregnant women may experience constipation due to the uterus expanding and controlling the rectum. It is essential to maintain a stable diet, drink plenty of water, and engage in appropriate exercise. For constipation, pay attention to drinking more warm water and eating more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins. Avoid overly greasy and spicy foods that can affect digestion. Drinking a cup of honey water in the morning and massaging the abdomen in a clockwise circular motion can also be helpful.
