Dry stool during lactation is a common problem. Because lactating mothers always pay more attention to the intake of nutrients in their diet in order to give their babies enough nutrition, it will increase the difficulty of gastrointestinal absorption in the long run, leading to dry stools. So, what should I do during lactation?

1. Dry stool during lactation can usually be relieved by diet conditioning. Mom should pay attention to the diet, eat more green leafy vegetables, eat more coarse grains, don't eat peppers and ginger, drink more water, eat less greasy food, and reduce the irritation to the stomach. In addition, defecate regularly, such as the habit of getting up in the morning. Don't use too much force when defecating, so as not to damage the hepatic portal. At the same time, proper activities should be carried out every day to promote digestion and absorption.

2. It is generally not recommended for lactating mothers to use medication. Generally speaking, when the stool is dry and serious, it is likely to cause hemorrhoids and bloody stool because of difficulty in defecation, which will cause harm to the maternal body. If hemorrhoids appear, you can use some drugs that can help defecation when defecation is difficult. These drugs only have the effect of moistening anus and softening stool. Generally, external drugs will have less influence on your baby.

Preventive measures should be taken to prevent dry stool, because the diet of lactating mothers will directly affect the quality of milk, so mothers should plan their diet reasonably, protect their digestive and absorption systems and ensure the health of their babies.
