Why does a pregnant woman's stomach growl?

Many pregnant women experience rumbling stomachs after becoming pregnant. After such symptoms appear, many pregnant women become particularly worried, fearing that they have some disease. Therefore, many pregnant women whose stomachs rumble during pregnancy want to fully understand what is going on. A detailed introduction is given below, and you can continue to learn more about it.

What is bowel sound?

(What is introduced here is not the bowel sounds in children.) When the intestinal flora is imbalanced, various bacteria ferment in the intestines, producing a large amount of gas, causing the contents of the gastrointestinal tract to move too much or beyond the normal range, so bowel sounds will occur. This is commonly known as hypertrophy of the bowel.

The harm of bowel sounds

There are many symptoms of enteritis, and intestinal rumbling usually does not exist alone. In most cases, it coexists with abdominal distension, intestinal dysfunction, abdominal pain, constipation, unformed stools, and loss of appetite. Therefore, to analyze the harmfulness, we must start from two aspects.

First: The symptoms of intestinal rumbling exist alone, and its cause is mainly indigestion. The intestines produce too much gas and cannot circulate smoothly. Less harmful. The treatment mainly relies on astringent or conditioning drugs.

Second: Those with multiple symptoms coexisting and the cumulative duration of attacks is more than one month. It indicates the presence of enteritis and gastritis. This type of patients is more prone to indigestion and cannot fully absorb nutrients, which causes loss of nutrients and supply of necessary nutrients, and is bound to cause great harm to normal physiological needs. Especially for women and middle-aged and elderly people, once similar symptoms occur, they may suffer from malnutrition at the mildest level and dehydration at the worst, which may lead to insomnia, dark complexion, weight loss, acute onset of chronic diseases or worsening of the condition. If this condition continues for three months, it is more likely to lead to a vicious cycle of gastrointestinal inflammation. It has a great impact on treatment.
