Many women have experienced the embarrassment of postpartum constipation, going through countless hardships to give birth to a baby naturally, with excessive physical exertion and the need for long periods of bed rest. As a result, constipation problems quietly arise, and even affect physical recovery during confinement. So what if I can't pull it out on the third day of vaginal delivery?
Difficulty in defecation after vaginal delivery is related to various factors, such as bed rest, slow gastrointestinal motility, and imbalanced diet. To improve bowel movements, one can start from these aspects. Although vaginal delivery is more physically demanding, the recovery rate of the mother's body is faster. She can get out of bed and move around the next day, which can not only improve constipation but also prevent the formation of venous thrombosis.
During pregnancy, due to the influence of hormones, gastrointestinal function may decline, and it is difficult to recover to normal levels shortly after delivery. Therefore, more attention should be paid to dietary regulation, with a balanced diet and more intake of coarse fiber foods. The diet should be light, with an increase in the proportion of fruits and vegetables, and a reasonable combination to ensure sufficient nutrition while solving difficulties in defecation.
Of course, both lifestyle habits and dietary adjustments require a certain amount of time to achieve. To solve the difficulty of defecation, external medication can be used to lubricate the intestines, help timely defecation, and alleviate the pain of postpartum women. However, drug treatment is prone to side effects and cannot be used for a long time without addressing the root cause. Changing dietary structure to improve digestive function is the long-term solution.
