Pregnancy and childbirth is a necessary step for every woman to grow from a girl to a woman. It is the process of gaining happiness and requires a lot of effort to overcome many problems such as constipation and hemorrhoids. It is widely documented that these two are high perinatal symptoms that all the above women have to face. After years of research, the medical community has discovered the reasons for the high incidence of constipation and hemorrhoids in women during this special period. Knowing the causes, you can also find the corresponding solutions. In early pregnancy, hormonal changes in the body cause constipation. During the first 3 months of pregnancy, the mother-to-be’s hormone levels change dramatically and the endocrine system undergoes a transformation. One of the main changes is that the body produces a large amount of a hormone that relaxes the smooth muscles in order to give the growing fetus enough room to grow. As a side effect, the intestinal tract, a type of smooth muscle, is also relaxed, and bowel movement slows down, leading to inevitable problems with bowel movements. It is recommended to use Chinese medicine prescriptions for dietary regimen and eat more moistening, laxative and yin nourishing foods to reduce the burden on the intestines. The first choice is silver fungus, banana, pear and honey water. If it does not relieve, you can also try to use drugs under the guidance of a doctor. This is the only laxative in the world that has passed clinical trials on pregnant women. In the middle of pregnancy, the fetus presses on the abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity, causing bowel obstruction. The fetus grows fastest during this stage, and the growing fetus presses on the mother’s abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity. Do more exercises to help the feces in the intestine to travel downward, such as walking is a good way. Combine this with the food regimen mentioned earlier for even better results. In some articles and health programs, it is often mentioned that rubbing the stomach helps increase bowel movement and promote bowel movement. For ordinary people, this is a solution, but not for pregnant women as a special group. Especially in the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus is not yet stable in the mother’s body, rubbing the belly too hard and too many times, may cause adverse effects. In mid to late pregnancy, the weight of the fetus causes changes in the outcome of the pelvic floor. Our internal organs depend on the pelvic floor for support, and we gain about 15 kg during pregnancy, which means that the pelvic floor bones are subjected to these pressures. As we enter late pregnancy, the pressure becomes greater and the anatomical position and structure of the body will loosen and sag and change with the pressure, and there is a drop in organs such as the perineum. This can also cause defecation, urination disorders, and even urinary incontinence. Walking is still a good way for mothers-to-be at this stage. In addition to this, the doctor will teach the “chest and knee exercise” during the pregnancy test. This method is originally used for mothers who are not in the correct fetal position after 30 weeks of pregnancy, with the aim of correcting the fetal position through exercise. Clinical trials have found that this method is also helpful in promoting bowel movement and improving bowel movements. Please note that you should check with your obstetrician before practicing. Childbirth, birth canal injury and lateral incision make bowel movements painful as well. This refers mainly to natural childbirth. During natural childbirth, the muscles and ligaments of the birth canal are damaged. Although they will gradually recover after delivery by some means, if the recovery is not good, it does affect the function of organs. Don’t worry, the percentage of damage is small and only occurs in certain special cases. Damage to the birth canal is unavoidable during childbirth, and this is what makes motherhood so great. There are many exercises taught by the health care provider to recover from the injury after delivery, so be sure to keep practicing to help function recover as quickly and fully as possible. When the wound is healed and no longer hurts, bowel problems will naturally be solved. In addition, the lap band is a useful aid to help restore pressure in the abdominal cavity and allow bowel movements to occur freely. Natural childbirth also requires a lateral incision, and the wound can be painful for some time after delivery. Some new mothers have pain in the lateral incision when they have a bowel movement, so they prefer to tolerate it rather than defecate easily. The time is long, the intention of stool by psychological factors gradually reduced, or even disappeared. After the delivery, you should take care of the wound carefully, wash and change the medicine regularly, so that the wound can heal as soon as possible. If the pain is really too much, you can solve it through medication. There are already clinical drugs that can be used during breastfeeding and will not affect breastfeeding. After childbirth, the qi and blood are weak and the stomach and intestines lack power. After delivery, the body is weak, mainly in three aspects: qi deficiency, yin deficiency and blood deficiency. At this time, the gastrointestinal tract is also weak, no appetite, eat less; even if you eat, due to intestinal weakness intestinal peristalsis is slow, defecation is also difficult. First of all, you need to hydrate more. In the process of childbirth and menstruation, the new mother will sweat a lot. Most of the water in the body is excreted with sweat, and the water in the intestines is relatively reduced. The stool will be dry and it will be difficult to defecate naturally. Therefore, it is important to drink more water during the menstruation period. Eat more food to nourish Qi and blood, porridge, soup and soup are good choices. For example, lotus seeds and gravy soup, Aconite jujube soup, honey water, cinnamon water, carp soup, papaya soup and so on.
