Patient's question:
Constipation is very severe at 314 days of pregnancy. Although I defecate irregularly every day, constipation is still very serious. Sitting on the toilet for a long time, straining so hard that the vaginal flesh is exposed, and I dare not even walk. What should I do about severe constipation at 314 days of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to controlling the intake of salt and water to avoid recurrence of edema or even lead to gestational hypertension; for high-energy foods such as sugar, honey, and other sweets, it is advisable to consume them in moderation to prevent reduced appetite and interference with the intake of other nutrients. Opt for small-volume, high-nutritional-value foods, such as animal-based products, and increase the consumption of low-nutritional-value, high-volume foods, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. To prevent issues like constipation, difficulty defecating, or diarrhea, you can use molecular chitosan as a dietary supplement for regulating the gastrointestinal tract.
