What to do if your stool is dry and hard during the confinement period

Many people will experience constipation symptoms during the confinement period. At this time, don't be anxious, keep calm, and don't be embarrassed to tell your family. Don't lie down all the time during the confinement period. You can do moderate exercise, as long as you are not too tired. And you should also pay more attention to your diet, eat more fruits and vegetables with high water content, don't eat too dry food, drink more porridge, and it will get better slowly.

You must exercise appropriately during the confinement period and avoid lying in bed for long periods of time. It is a very wrong idea and practice to lie down all the time during confinement.

During the confinement period, you must keep your mood calm and relaxed, in a good spirit, and avoid having too many negative emotions and overreactions. Because bad emotions will slow down your gastrointestinal motility.

The diet during the confinement period should be scientific. The older generation’s belief that women cannot eat fruits and vegetables during confinement is unscientific. On the contrary, you should eat some fresh vegetables and fruits, especially those high in fiber, such as celery, bananas, etc. Of course, since you are in confinement, vegetables should be boiled in water as much as possible and fruits should not be too cold. It is also good to eat porridge and congee for three meals, which is easier to digest.

A very important point is to drink lots of warm water. It does no harm and the more the better. If you feel like you have no appetite, you can add some honey and sesame oil appropriately, but be careful to add just enough, not too much.

Everyone knows that honey is very good at lubricating the intestines. If the condition is really serious and you cannot relieve it yourself, you can take some medicine under the guidance of a doctor. You can't force yourself. It's bad for your health and it also affects your mood.

Some mothers find constipation difficult to talk about, so they keep it to themselves and do not communicate the situation with their families, but they are anxious inside. This is not advisable. Not only does it make it difficult for you to calm down, but it is also very detrimental to your body's recovery, which may affect your baby during breastfeeding. In fact, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Many mothers will experience this situation, and it is also a normal phenomenon after giving birth. Therefore, if mothers have any problems, they should tell their family members in time and they will help you solve the problems together.
