Do you know the cause of postpartum difficult defecation?

First, in the third trimester of pregnancy, with the enlargement of the uterus, rectus abdominis and pelvic floor muscles are relaxed by the enlarged uterus. As a result, the contraction of these two muscles is weak, and the abdominal pressure is weakened. In addition, the maternal body is weak, and can not rely on abdominal pressure to help defecate, so defecation naturally has difficulties.

Second: after giving birth to a child, pregnant women usually lie in bed to rest, that is, their activities are reduced, which will slow down the peristalsis of their intestines and affect their defecation, leading to constipation.

Third: after a new mother gives birth to a child, the diet in a few days is usually millet, etc. the diet is relatively monotonous. At this time, she may lack the intake of cellulose, especially the intake of crude fiber, which reduces the stimulating effect on the digestive tract, weakens intestinal peristalsis, and affects defecation.
