What causes postpartum constipation in pregnant women?

　　1. Causing maternal symptoms after childbirth constipate Reason:

　　1. The mother is here Postpartum Within a few days, due to bed rest, the activity is reduced, which affects intestinal peristalsis and makes it difficult to defecate.

　　2. Due to late pregnancy Uterus As they grow older, the rectus abdominis and pelvic floor muscles are swollen by the expanded uterus, and even some muscle fibers are broken. After childbirth, the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles relax, contract weakly, and the abdominal pressure weakens. In addition, the mother is weak and cannot rely on abdominal pressure to assist defecation, making it difficult to defecate naturally.

　　3. The mother's diet in the few days after delivery is monotonous and often lacks fiber food, especially crude fiber content, which reduces the stimulating effect on the digestive tract, weakens intestinal peristalsis, and affects defecation.

　　2. Prevent constipation after delivery:

　　1. You should move appropriately and not stay in bed for a long time. You should turn over frequently in the first two days after delivery and sit up when eating. You should get out of bed and move around after two days.

　　2. You should maintain a happy spirit and a comfortable mood at ordinary times, and avoid negative mental stimulation, because bad emotions can reduce gastric acid secretion and slow down gastrointestinal motility.

　　3. In terms of diet, drink more soup and water. A certain proportion of miscellaneous grains should be appropriately included in daily meals, with a mix of coarse and fine grains, and strive to diversify the staple food. While eating meat and eggs, you should also eat some fresh vegetables and fruits that are rich in fiber.
