What are the treatments for postpartum constipation?

Constipation is a very common problem. When this problem occurs, it must be improved in time, otherwise it will increase toxins in the body and lead to various problems. There are many people suffering from postpartum constipation. Many women suffer from constipation for unknown reasons after giving birth. There are many good ways to improve postpartum constipation. The treatment of postpartum constipation is a good choice and it will not cause any harm to women's bodies.

Treatment for postpartum constipation:

1. As the uterus grows in the late pregnancy, the rectus abdominis and pelvic floor muscles are stretched by the expanded uterus, and even some muscle fibers are broken. After delivery, the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles relax, contract weakly, and abdominal pressure decreases. In addition, the mother is weak and cannot rely on abdominal pressure to assist defecation, so defecation becomes difficult.

2. Mothers often stay in bed for a few days after delivery, which reduces their activity and affects their intestinal motility, making it difficult for them to defecate.

3. The diet of the mother in the first few days after delivery is monotonous and often lacks fiber food, especially crude fiber. This reduces the stimulation to the digestive tract, weakens intestinal peristalsis, and affects defecation.

After giving birth, the mother should exercise appropriately and not stay in bed for a long time. You should turn over frequently during the first two days after delivery and sit up when eating. You should get out of bed and move around after two days. Second, in terms of diet, you should drink more soup and water. A certain proportion of whole grains should be added to daily meals, and a combination of coarse and fine grains should be achieved, so as to diversify the staple food. While eating meat and eggs, you should also eat some fresh vegetables and fruits rich in fiber. Third, you should keep a cheerful spirit and a good mood at ordinary times, and avoid adverse mental stimulation, because bad emotions can reduce gastric acid secretion and slow down gastrointestinal motility.

By understanding the treatment methods for postpartum constipation, women can follow the above methods to improve their constipation problems. However, in the process of improving constipation, women must also make adjustments to themselves so that there will be no harm to the body, making it easy to solve constipation.
