The longer the debris stays in the intestinal tract, the more water it loses, the more dry it becomes, and the more difficult it is to excrete. A vicious circle forms postpartum constipation.

Second: after childbirth, the pressure of the uterus on the intestinal tract is reduced, because the volume of the intestinal tract becomes larger, it can hold more debris, longer time, which is also an important reason for the formation of postpartum constipation.

Third: postpartum abdominal wall and pelvic floor muscle contraction strength is smaller, making no force to defecate, so it is not easy to defecate. In addition, the perineum and pelvis are damaged to a certain extent during childbirth, which makes the mother feel pain and dare not use force when defecating, which also increases the suffering of defecation.
