Hi,
I understand your concern.
Less food intake/ faulty eating habits & pregnancy hormones cause constipation in pregnancy.
- You have hemorrhoids .. which need to be control . Taking stool softners ( Lactulose suspension /ispaghul on the counter )at bed time will help in beginning. A glycerine suppository will help in moving hard stools.Application of pilescura ointment to anal region after schitz bath would relieve pain.
- Stool examination to diagnose bowel infections & Expert advise for treatment as per need .
- Taking lot of fibers ( vegetables & fruits & salads )/ drink lot of water ( 8-10 glasses in a day )/ avoiding refined food, fast food is important.
- Mild exercises( walking/ yoga )
This would gradually improve your digestion & bowel movements.
* Though constipation itself causes mild fever,consult a physician to get an expert advise after needful investigations for cough & fever is advised.
Thanks.
