After pregnancy, pregnant women take care of their illnesses more seriously than before pregnancy, although they may develop some common illnesses before pregnancy. For example, pregnant women have diarrhea, pregnant women have colds, etc. Individual pregnant women will have diarrhea after pregnancy. The causes of diarrhea in pregnant women are mainly related to changes in hormone levels in the body, prolonged gastric emptying time and weakened peristalsis of the small intestine, so they are extremely vulnerable to external factors and diarrhea. 1, the cause of infection: bacteria, viruses through the digestive tract infection. Infection is the most common cause of diarrhea in pregnant women. The most common pathogens leading to infection are Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter and viruses. Food poisoning or viral infections in other parts of the body can also cause diarrhea in pregnant women. 2, dietary reasons: like to eat some cold food, causing gastrointestinal dysfunction, intestinal peristalsis accelerated, thus causing diarrhea; consumption of rough, spoiled food and bad eating habits, or triggered by seafood and other food allergies; irregular diet, eating too much, eating indigestible food, etc. also easy to cause diarrhea. 3, cold: often stay in the air conditioning room or sleep with the air conditioning, the abdomen is easy to catch cold, so that intestinal peristalsis accelerated resulting in diarrhea. 4, combined with other chronic disease causes: such as thyroid disease, tuberculosis, colitis, etc.. The symptoms of diarrhea in pregnant women Generally, the normal bowel movement of pregnant mothers is once a day, and the eliminated stool is solid and in a mass, but pregnant mothers with diarrhea are more difficult. When a pregnant mother suffers from diarrhea, the following 3 characteristics will appear: 1. frequent, usually 4-5 times a day to go to the toilet; 2. stools become thin, the shape, color and smell change, containing pus and blood, mucus, indigestible food, fat, or become yellow thin water, green thin char, sour smell; 3. in the process of diarrhea accompanied by abdominal pain, falling, urgency, anal burning pain and other symptoms. What medicine do pregnant women take for diarrhea? If the diarrhea is not very serious, consider drinking more water, actively replenish the water and electrolytes lost due to diarrhea, pay attention to rest and a light diet. Microecological preparations, such as probiotics, can be taken to adjust the intestinal flora and reduce the number of stools. Pregnant women should try not to take medicine if they can, especially in the first trimester. The usual antibiotics and antiprotozoal drugs, as well as other drugs such as tetracyclines and sulfonamides, which have an effect on the fetus, should not be used. In case of frequent stools, intestinal mucosal protectors can be used, which have the dual effect of adsorbing pathogenic bacteria and antidiarrheal and antibacterial. However, pregnant women should be careful with medications, and even these drugs that are not considered harmful to pregnant women should be taken preferably under the guidance of a doctor. Pregnancy itself does not cause diarrhea, nor does it aggravate the already existing diarrhea symptoms, but frequent and severe diarrhea symptoms during pregnancy will most likely trigger uterine contractions leading to miscarriage, and it is also detrimental to the absorption of nutrients in the pregnant mother’s body. Therefore, once a pregnant woman has diarrhea, the main treatment should be appropriate rehydration to make up for the water and electrolytes lost due to diarrhea, especially the replenishment of potassium ions, which can increase the heat in the pregnant mother’s body, and at the same time, we should pay attention to observe or feel whether the condition of the baby in the abdomen is normal and whether there are signs of premature birth or miscarriage. Diarrhea can eat apples, pomegranates, etc.; diarrhea can not eat pears, watermelon, bananas, etc.. Cut the apple with its core into small pieces, put it in water and boil it for 3 to 5 minutes, leave it to warm up and eat it. It should be noted that when eating cooked apples, it is not advisable to add cane sugar to taste, because cane sugar may aggravate diarrhea. 2, drink porridge diarrhea can drink some white porridge with salt, it is recommended not to put meat. Meat porridge will also aggravate the burden on the stomach and intestines, abdominal pain after defecation, although the pain is relieved, but at this time the intestines and stomach due to inflammation and varying degrees of edema, if you eat meat and vegetables, will aggravate the condition, so two to three days after diarrhea, the diet should be light, you may want to drink some white porridge, add a little salt. 3, eat pasta diarrhea need to eat some more easily digestible food, pasta is a good choice. Noodles are nutritious and relatively easy to digest and absorb, so eating noodles is a good choice for people with diarrhea. However, for people with diarrhea, eating noodles should not be too greasy, too greasy will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines.
