Patient's question:
Constipation has been an old problem for me, but since I got pregnant, every time I have constipation, my anus gets chafed. I'm a bit worried that this might cause adverse effects on the fetus, such as premature birth or other complications. What should a pregnant woman do if she experiences constipation and bleeding from the anus?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women with constipation and anal bleeding, if it is relatively severe, may lead to a recurrence of preterm labor. Currently, the most important thing is to alleviate constipation. It is essential to drink more water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and drink a cup of honey water on an empty stomach in the morning, which can effectively relieve constipation. Under the guidance of a doctor, some topical creams with mild irritation can be applied.
