Why do I always have black stool after giving birth?

It is quite common in clinical medicine that women always have black stools after giving birth naturally. There are many causes of this condition. Long-term constipation, long-term iron supplementation or use of other medicines during pregnancy, or eating a lot of fruits and vegetables during pregnancy, etc., can all cause black stools after delivery. Requires in-depth analysis of actual problems.

The first reason is long-term supplementation of iron or other blood tonics during pregnancy. In clinical medicine, long-term use of blood-tonifying and qi-tonifying drugs such as polysaccharide iron or aluminum sulfate will also cause residual iron compounds in the stool. Black stools can also occur in clinical medicine. This kind of situation is generally normal and does not require any special treatment. It is not easy to cause any impact on pregnancy and baby. Most people will gradually recover after stopping iron supplements or other blood and qi tonics.

The second reason is that long-term constipation during pregnancy can also cause black stools after giving birth. Because pregnant women's gastrointestinal motility slows down during pregnancy and the ability to digest food decreases, they are generally more prone to constipation. Feces are deposited in the stomach and intestines, which can also cause changes in stool color, usually dominated by gray and black. In clinical medicine, there is also the condition that pregnant women always have black stools after giving birth. But this is also normal and basically does not require special solutions. You can eat some fresh fruits and more meat in moderation, and most of the symptoms will gradually get better after 3 to 5 days.

The third reason is inflammation or ulcer of the digestive tract. If a pregnant woman has gastric ulcer or enteritis, and the condition does not improve, bleeding may also cause the pregnant woman to have black stools after giving birth. In cases like this, you need to go to the hospital for corresponding examinations, and carry out corresponding intervention measures based on the examination results.
