Patient's question:
I am already four months pregnant. Before getting pregnant, my body's bowel movements were very normal. Now that I am pregnant, I have constipation. I want to ask the doctor what to do about constipation at four months of pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, you need to pay more attention to your daily life. After getting pregnant, the main reason for constipation is the change in intestinal function, leading to weakened intestinal contractions, while the large intestine enhances the absorption of water, resulting in the recurrence of constipation. Generally, there is no need for treatment. Eating more bananas and figs in your diet and drinking some soy milk in the morning can also help with bowel movements. It is best to avoid spicy and irritating foods as much as possible. If you experience diarrhea again, it will not help stabilize constipation.
