Can constipation cause problems in pregnancy?
Pregnancy FAQs
Constipation during pregnancy is a common issue due to hormonal changes and pressure on the intestines. While it is generally not a cause for concern, severe or persistent constipation can lead to discomfort and may increase the risk of hemorrhoids. It is important to maintain a healthy diet, continue moderate activity, stay hydrated, and consult your healthcare professional if the constipation during pregnancy doesn’t ease, or is causing too much discomfort or any pain.
