What to do if you have constipation after transplantation? Prevention is important

Constipation is a common phenomenon. It is easy to get constipation after transplantation due to frequent lying down and little exercise. In general, you only need to exercise appropriately after the transplant, avoid excessive bed rest, drink plenty of water, and eat more vegetables and fruits, and the constipation will be alleviated or disappear. If it is serious, you need to consult a doctor for a solution.

Constipation should be avoided as much as possible during IVF or the first three months of pregnancy. This is because constipation can easily cause the abdomen to compress the uterus, affecting pregnancy, and excessive force during defecation may cause uterine contractions, thus affecting the success rate of IVF.

Mild constipation can be corrected by adjusting the diet structure, such as eating more vegetables and fruits, a high-fiber diet, exercising moderately, and avoiding excessive bed rest. If constipation lasts for a long time and the above methods cannot relieve the symptoms, you can take laxatives appropriately. Please read the instructions carefully before taking them to see if they are contraindicated for pregnant women. It is best to consult a doctor on the IVF website to avoid affecting the development of the fetus.

If you are constipated, do not force a bowel movement until you feel the urge to defecate.

The care after IVF transplantation is the same as that after natural pregnancy. This is an individual case of infertility that requires targeted medication. I hope that the patient will take the medication according to the doctor's instructions.

How can I prevent constipation after my transplant?

1. Drink plenty of water every day and eat enough fruits and vegetables. Vegetable and fruit fiber help intestinal peristalsis.

2. Getting enough sleep, being in a good mood, and relieving mental stress are all good ways to relieve constipation.

3. Have regular bowel movements in the morning. Go to the toilet in the morning or after breakfast. Since the colon's propulsion movements are more active after breakfast and it is easier to initiate defecation, the best time to defecate is about an hour after breakfast. Do not ignore the urge to defecate, and do not force yourself to endure the inconvenience.

4. Do not squat on the toilet for too long, as it will not only increase abdominal pressure, but also cause difficulties in blood circulation in the lower limbs.

5. After the patient has completed the IVF transplant, he or she should lead a regular life, consume more fiber foods and water, exercise moderately, and maintain regular bowel habits.
