Increased gas after pregnancy may be caused by hormone level changes, dietary factors, uterine enlargement and other factors.
1. Changes in hormone levels: the increase in estrogen and progesterone levels in women’s bodies after pregnancy and the increase in luteinizing hormone slow down bowel movements, making it easy for symptoms of bloating and constipation to occur, which can lead to more gas.
2. Dietary factors: after pregnancy, eating too much high-protein or indigestible food to increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, as well as consuming easy to produce gas of the groundnut, potatoes, soybean food, resulting in abdominal bloating prone to the phenomenon of excessive exhaust. You should pay attention to eat a light diet to reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines, and reduce the consumption of foods that are easy to produce gas. You can also clockwise massage the abdomen to promote intestinal peristalsis to improve the symptoms of abdominal bloating and gas.
3. Enlargement of the uterus: After pregnancy, with the development of the fetus, the uterus gradually increases in size, the enlarged uterus compresses the intestinal tube, and the intestinal peristalsis slows down after the intestinal accumulation of gas is more, and the phenomenon of more exhaust will occur. To increase exercise, you can walk after meals or do yoga exercise, etc., in order to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis to improve the symptoms.
