Slow bowel movements

Introduction In the early stage of calving, abdominal distension and constipation are common phenomena, and some women do not understand bowel movements for 3-5 days or more. As a result, defecation is more difficult, anal fissure, sputum, abdominal distension and many other adverse consequences. The main reasons for its formation are as follows: (1) In the first few days after delivery, due to maternal fatigue, physical weakness, multi-bed rest, small amount of activity, resulting in slowing of bowel movements, decreased intestinal tension, intestinal contents staying in the intestine After too long, the water is excessively absorbed to form constipation. (2) Due to excessive stretching of pregnancy and childbirth, the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor tissues are relaxed, resulting in weakened bowel movements. (3) Due to the perineal laceration caused by childbirth or the swelling and pain of the perineal wound, the defecation is not forced to suppress the bowel movement and the stool stays longer in the intestine. (4) Improper diet. Cellulose in food can stimulate bowel movements. Therefore, too little cellulose in the diet (such as monotonous eggs, rice diet) can slow bowel movements, causing constipation and bloating.

Differential diagnosis

Gastrointestinal dysfunction: The function of the human gastrointestinal tract is coordinated and regulated by the nervous and endocrine systems. Because it has the number of nerve cells that are second only to the central nervous system and sensitive to external stimuli, many can affect autonomic nerve function. Abnormal stimuli (such as excessive psychological stress, overwork, emotional stress, and large fluctuations in mood) may cause gastrointestinal motility to slow down, digestive juice secretion, appetite loss, upper abdominal discomfort, fullness, heating, nausea Wait for dyspepsia symptoms.

Gastrointestinal dysfunction: When the secretion and movement of the gastrointestinal tract are lost due to various reasons, and can not be normal activities, it will cause digestive and absorption disorders. Abdominal distension and constipation occur.
