What to do if you have gastroenteritis in pregnant women

Most of the common gastroenteritis we see clinically is caused by damage to the gastrointestinal organs. We recommend conditioning as the main treatment for gastroenteritis in postpartum women. Postpartum women are weak after giving birth. If they take a large amount of medicine, it will affect the discharge of milk and have an adverse effect on breastfeeding. In general, in daily life, gastroenteritis can be effectively alleviated and controlled by taking proper conditioning and maintenance.

The main cause of postpartum gastrointestinal diseases is eating too cold, too hot, or too hard food, overdrinking, overeating, drinking strong liquor, strong tea, strong coffee, etc., which lead to inflammatory lesions of the gastric mucosa. The second reason is that rotten or unhygienic food leads to bacterial infection of the digestive system. Pesticide residues on vegetables and fruits, hormone residues in large fish and meat, etc., lead to intestinal flora imbalance and cause indigestion.

Many cases of enteritis are caused by lifestyle factors and are functional diarrhea. Take emotional tension for example, it can cause enteritis. Therefore, once a pregnant woman has diarrhea, as long as there is no sign of infection, she should first adjust her lifestyle and eliminate the adverse factors that cause diarrhea. It is best not to take medicine. Indigestion is a common disease caused by improper diet in women after childbirth, and its main manifestations are intestinal flatulence, diarrhea, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, etc.

After giving birth, in order to replenish physical energy as quickly as possible, secrete milk, and breastfeed the baby, the mother will tend to focus on foods with higher nutritional value in her diet. However, if these foods contain too much protein, fat, etc., it will be detrimental to the body's absorption and cause a burden on the gastrointestinal system. These reasons may also cause postpartum gastroenteritis, so it is recommended that everyone should formulate a reasonable and scientific diet for pregnant women in their lives.
