Enema during pregnancy

When the question arises, is it possible to make an enema pregnant, the following factors should be considered:

• gestational age;
• individual features of the course of pregnancy and the state of the woman's body;
• anamnesis of previous pregnancies;
• the attitude of your doctor to enemas.

Enema during pregnancy is a fairly radical way to solve the problem of constipation. So you clean the large intestine, but do not eliminate the problem of their occurrence. Repeat this procedure can not be more than once a week.

Clyster during pregnancy can be done

This procedure is done to purify the intestine or for therapeutic purposes, when drugs are introduced through the rectum. Today, medicinal enemas are practically not practiced, for the reason that there are enough medicines in the form of candles on sale.

The problem of constipation in pregnant women is quite common. This is due to the increase in blood suppressing the motor activity of the intestine and uterus of the hormone - progesterone. A sedentary lifestyle and unbalanced diet also often become the forerunners of constipation.

Before you do an enema during pregnancy, you need to consult a doctor. Perhaps you will be recommended other ways to cleanse the intestines, for example, take laxatives. Preventing constipation, in the first place, provides for sufficient physical activity and proper nutrition. You need to eat fruits and vegetables with minimal heat treatment, limit the consumption of meat, beans, cottage cheese and cheese. You can drink a glass of warm water every day on an empty stomach, this method has an excellent effect on the normalization of the intestine.

Whether it is possible to do an enema during pregnancy and the possibility of developing complications after it depends on the period of gestation. The enema is often used in the early stages of pregnancy. This is due to a sharp rise in the level of progesterone in the blood. In late terms, do not recommend an enema. This can provoke a contraction of the uterus and cause premature birth. Especially on terms after the thirty-sixth week. In rare cases, this procedure causes uterine contraction in the early stages. This situation is explained by the fact that the uterus and the peristalsis of the intestine are controlled by one muscle.

Contraindication for enemas are miscarriages of previous pregnancies (miscarriages), or the tone of the uterus at the present. In such a situation, with caution, all laxatives should be used.

Enema during pregnancy before childbirth

Until recently, an enema before childbirth was an obligatory manipulation in every domestic maternity home. But today the medical staff can go to meet you and allow you to do this procedure at home or even refuse it. Unfortunately, this mostly concerns commercial organizations.

When pregnancy enema with hemorrhoids should be done with extreme care, so as not to damage inflammatory sites. For the procedure, you need to use a pear up to half a liter. Pregnant women can not fill the intestine with a large volume of fluid. To enhance the laxative effect, vaseline oil (a couple of spoons) is added to the water. To manipulate the water heated to thirty-seven to thirty-eight degrees Celsius. The tip of the pear is smeared with baby cream and gently injected into the anus.

Today, there are enough medicines in the form of candles. Their use takes much less time and does not bring as much discomfort as an enema.

The decision to make an enema or not takes individually in each case. But it is worth recalling that the problem of constipation is easier to prevent than treat.
