What to do if your stool is dry and you can't pass it during confinement

When many female friends are in confinement after childbirth, sometimes they will experience constipation or difficulty defecating. This is due to maternal constipation. Women are not allowed to do strenuous exercise during the confinement period, and coupled with breastfeeding reasons, these symptoms can easily lead to constipation and other symptoms. So, what should you do if you cannot defecate during confinement after childbirth?

What should I do if I can't defecate during confinement?

1. During the confinement period, if you are constipated or cannot defecate normally, it is best to eat some foods that have a digestive effect to recuperate, such as bananas, apples, or honey lemon water, etc., which all have the effect of moisturizing the intestines. You cannot eat cold food during the confinement period. When eating apples, it is best to soak them in boiling water before eating.

2. During the confinement period, women's appetite increases and they need to eat more nutritious food. In order to prevent constipation, it is best to eat more easily digestible food on a daily basis, and try not to eat too dry and difficult to digest food. In addition, you should drink more water to replenish the body's water in time to avoid dryness of the colon and cause constipation.

What foods should not be eaten during confinement after caesarean section

1. Women who have undergone cesarean section should not eat too much salt during the confinement period, and they should also not eat spicy food or condiments, because these foods can easily make women get angry. Under normal circumstances, it can be said that it doesn’t matter, but it is different for women who have just given birth. Due to physical problems, getting angry will cause a decrease in milk. The decrease in milk directly affects the baby due to lack of milk, resulting in malnutrition of the baby. Therefore, women should not only consider their own bodies, but also think about their babies.

2. Women who have undergone cesarean section should try not to eat cold food during the confinement period. Many women who are in confinement eat the food taken out of the refrigerator immediately. Too cold food is not only unhygienic, but also has great irritation to the stomach and will also cause postpartum lochia.

In daily life, many female friends do not know how to pay attention to their lifestyle, which can easily cause them to have bad symptoms during the confinement period, such as constipation. There are also many things that they cannot eat after a caesarean section. Therefore, they cannot eat cold foods or foods with high salt content during the confinement period. In this case, they need to think about the baby.
