For constipation in postpartum women, it is recommended to eat more pears, apples, and similar foods, and engage in moderate exercise to promote intestinal motility. Avoid constantly consuming large amounts of meat and rich foods; instead, include适量 (appropriate amounts) of fiber-rich foods such as Chinese yam, whole grains, and celery. In addition, encouraging pregnant women to get out of bed and move around can also help stimulate gastrointestinal motility and facilitate bowel movements. If the above methods are not effective, medications such as glycerin suppositories (enema) may be used to assist defecation.
