How To Treat Constipation While Breastfeeding?

Hello doctor... i had a normal delivery 2 months before. During pregnancy i strained a lot, due to constipation. Now i am feeling burning sensation after each stool. I am using pilex ointment,but not so effective.. I have a doubt.. Since i am breast feeding, whether i can take tablets. I thought of taking homeopathic tablets.. Is that cause any problems.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Constipation can be overcome by taking laxatives.
It is advisable to take Isapgol Husk Powder, which is a natural fibre supplement, in the post-partum period. You need to take 1 measureful dissolved in water in the morning and at night. You need to consume it immediately with effervescence.
Kindly consume diet rich in fibre and foods which are soft and easily digestible.
It is better to avoid taking medications and using homeopathic medicines during lactation.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
