Hi,
I have read your query & understand your concern.
*In pregnancy, intestinal movements & digestion are hampered due to pregnancy hormones. This leads to constipation -which ultimately ends up with bleeding in stools.
*Daflon controls inflammation at the site & also reduces recurrance. You can take it safely in pregnancy also, there no adverse effects of the drugs on pregnancy/fetus.
* apart from this change in life style brings big relief from the problem-
- have small/ frequent (3 houly) servings to eat.
- have sufficient fibers in diet in form of salads,fruits, vegetables, unprocessed cerels/legumes/ dals.
-Have plenty of water through out day ( 12 glasses )
- Adopt regular bowel habbits, avoid constipation by taking stool softeners if needed.
- Regular mild abdominal exercises & walking.
Thanks..
