If constipation occurs in life, everyone will feel very uncomfortable. If severe constipation occurs, the body will definitely feel very uncomfortable. When this happens to a woman after a normal birth, we are all very worried that we will not be able to handle the situation well. The main parturient population is relatively special, so we need to learn the knowledge of how to deal with this situation. So what should you do if you have severe constipation after a normal birth? Let’s see how the editor answers this question. Constipation is caused by bad eating habits, which lead to insufficient mechanical or chemical stimulation of food, or by consuming too little or too fine food, which reduces intestinal stimulation and weakens reflex peristalsis. Causes of postpartum constipation: 1. The main reasons are reduced gastrointestinal function, slow peristalsis, intestinal contents staying too long, and excessive water absorption. 2. During pregnancy, the muscles of the abdominal wall and pelvic floor do not contract strongly enough. 3. In the late stage of labor, the perineum and pelvis are more or less damaged, which inhibits the defecation movement through nerve reflex. 4. The postpartum diet is too focused on so-called high nutrition, lacks fiber, and reduces food residues. It is recommended to promote intestinal motility and help restore muscle tension through physical exercise. Healthy mothers who give birth naturally can start getting out of bed and moving around the next day, and increase their time spent up and range of activities day by day. You can also do postpartum gymnastics in bed, anal contraction exercises, and exercise the pelvic floor muscles to promote blood flow back to the anus. The method of lifting the anus is to do the action of holding back a bowel movement, lift the anus upwards, and then relax. Once in the morning and evening, 10-30 times each time. The diet should be properly balanced, combining meat and vegetables, eating more fiber-containing foods, and eating appropriate amounts of fresh vegetables, fruits and melons. Eat less spicy food, especially do not drink alcohol. Sesame oil and honey have a laxative effect and should be consumed more often after childbirth. Strengthen postpartum exercise, insist on doing postpartum health exercises, and develop a good habit of regular bowel movements. Through the above knowledge, we understand how to deal with severe constipation after normal delivery. Mothers should develop the habit of regular bowel movements and eat more vegetables, bananas, sweet potatoes and honey. In case of constipation, you can use a suppository or a soap bar inserted into the anus to lubricate the intestines and facilitate bowel movements. However, the movements must be gentle to prevent damage to the intestines. In severe cases, you can take medication to help with defecation. Finally, I hope that both the mother and the child can grow up healthy and happy! |
