Abstract
Aim: Investigate the effects of its risk factor and the prevalence of functional constipation in pregnant women.
Methods: From July 2012 to January 2014, in four hospitals in Shanghai, we searched hospital databases for women who were 37-41 weeks pregnant (1698 instances). General information, eating and living habits, psychological history, prior history of defecation in the six months prior to conception, and defecation after conception were all aspects we looked at. Using the SPSS program, data were examined.
Results: Functional constipation was more common in pregnant women who were over 35, had pre-pregnancy body mass index >24, had high levels of education, and worked sedentary jobs. The prevalence of functional constipation among pregnant women was linked to age, pre-pregnancy body mass index, nutrition, exercise, occupation, psychological factors, threatening abortion in early pregnancy, and constipation history, according to multivariate logistic regression analysis.
Conclusion: Pregnant women had a much higher prevalence of functional constipation than the general population.
