[|Human|] Dear DoctorMy wife is pregnant and she is about 9 weeks now. She doesnt feel the usual symptoms of the first trimester however for the last 2 days she doesnt have hunger to eat food. The food intake is very less. She has been having constipation problem for quite a long time. She goes to the Loo once in 3 days. We tried different medications to get her constipation fixed but in vain. Can you please advise what we need to do?
[|AI|]  Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the constipation is the most common complaint seen during pregnancy. The woman who have it during before pregnancy might get aggravated in pregnancy. So laxatives, adequate fluids up to 3 liters per day and high fiber diet should be taken to prevent constipation. Daily exercise or antenatal yoga should be practiced. There might be increased risk of piles in those with constipation. Agiolax granules is one of the effective laxative. It is plant based and not associated with side effects. So it can be tried. Hope this helps. Best regards...
