In daily life, many people may encounter constipation, which may be caused by various reasons. During pregnancy, children's physical activity in various aspects may decrease, and as the uterus grows, it will compress the intestines, making it easy to experience constipation. So, what should be done if pregnancy constipation is severe?
Firstly, pregnant women can help alleviate constipation by adjusting their dietary needs, such as drinking more water. Ensure that your daily water intake is around 1.5 liters or 2 liters. In addition, you can also eat more dietary fiber foods, such as vegetables or whole grains.
Secondly, during pregnancy, as the abdomen grows larger, it can be difficult to exercise. However, it is also important to ensure that you engage in moderate exercise every day, as less exercise can reduce gastrointestinal motility, which can be detrimental to constipation.
Thirdly, you can also eat more probiotics or foods such as yogurt, which can help pregnant women regulate their digestive system and soften their stool, which is beneficial for the excretion of feces.
Fourthly, if the situation is severe and cannot be relieved by many methods, it is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant examinations, consult a doctor, and receive medication or other treatment methods under the advice of others.
