What to do if pregnant women have dry stools due to internal heat

The phenomenon of dry stool in pregnant women is often more likely to occur in the early stages of pregnancy. At this time, do not think that this is a minor problem, because if you do not pay attention, it may affect the pregnancy and even the growth of the fetus. Generally speaking, when pregnant women are constipated, their stools often contain blood to varying degrees because the hard stools can tear the anus. Here we will introduce what pregnant women should do if they have dry stools due to internal heat.

Choose foods that promote bowel movements. Such as bananas, honey, jam, maltose, etc. Supplement sufficient prebiotics to moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movements, and promote the absorption of various nutrients. Choose foods that are rich in vitamins. Such as animal liver, egg yolk, soybeans, bean sprouts, celery, lettuce, seaweed, walnuts, peanuts, etc. Choose foods that are high in water. Such as fresh milk, homemade fresh fruit juice, etc. Eat three meals a day normally. In particular, you must eat breakfast, avoid empty stomach, and eat more foods rich in fiber, such as brown rice, malt, whole wheat bread, milk, fresh vegetables and fresh fruits. Try to eat less spicy foods and drink less carbonated drinks.

.Drink more water. If the body's water is not replenished enough, constipation will worsen, so drink at least 1000 ml of water every day. Because of insufficient water, feces cannot be formed, and if the feces is too little, it cannot stimulate the rectum to contract, and there will be no urge to defecate. Therefore, replenishing water is an important way to relieve constipation. Avoid holding back a bowel movement. That is to say, go to the toilet as soon as you feel the urge to defecate. Because feces accumulate in the body for a long time, it not only makes defecation difficult, but also affects appetite. Pregnant women with constipation problems are advised to drink more cold boiled water or milk every day to stimulate large intestine peristalsis, or drink a glass of cold boiled water or milk immediately after getting up in the morning. These are good ways to help defecation.

Please note that many women suffer from internal heat and constipation in the early stages of pregnancy due to bad eating habits. For example, after pregnancy, family members think that pregnant women need to supplement a lot of nutrition, so they serve them delicious food and drink every day. In this way, they consume too much high-fat and high-protein food, and too little vegetables, fruits and melons. This makes the gastrointestinal tract lack of fiber to help digestion, so they will suffer from internal heat and constipation.
