Constipation in Pregnancy treatment in Celaya

Constipation during pregnancy refers to the difficulty in having a bowel movement or to the infrequent and hard stools that many women experience at this stage, in part due to hormonal changes and the pressure of the uterus on the intestine.

Frequent symptoms: spaced-out and strained bowel movements, hard stools, a sensation of incomplete emptying, and, at times, discomfort, gas, or bloating in the abdomen.

Common causes: the hormonal adjustments of pregnancy slow down intestinal transit; reduced physical activity, changes in diet, and some supplements common at this stage can also play a role.

Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist accompanies the pregnancy and provides guidance on these digestive complaints, and when the picture is persistent or intense the gastroenterologist may be added. If you notice strong pain, bleeding, or marked changes in your bowel habits, it is a good idea to discuss it with your doctor for a close and reassuring evaluation.
