I have a constipation issue because of IVF. Tell me about any medications since I'm in my sixth month of pregnancy.

Asked by Female, 29 ยท 29 days ago

Constipation is common in the 6th month of pregnancy after IVF due to hormonal changes and iron tablets. Along with plenty of water, fiber-rich diet, and light activity, you can safely use gentle options like Isabgol or Lactulose; a stool softener like Docusate may also help. Avoid frequent use of strong stimulant laxatives, and always check with your gynecologist before starting any medicine.
