Does intestinal obstruction affect pregnancy?

Intestinal obstruction may affect pregnancy, especially if it is not treated in time, because it may cause abdominal adhesions, spread of inflammation and other problems that affect the health of the reproductive system. However, whether it will cause a direct impact depends on the specific condition. It is recommended to actively treat and consult a doctor to evaluate fertility.

Intestinal obstruction refers to a pathological condition in which intestinal contents cannot pass through the intestine normally. Its causes may include adhesions, tumors, congenital malformations, intussusception, etc. Intestinal obstruction may indirectly affect women's reproductive function. Severe abdominal inflammation may lead to pelvic adhesions, which can not only affect the patency of the fallopian tubes, but also reduce ovarian function and increase the risk of infertility. For women with a history of chronic intestinal obstruction, high-intensity abdominal surgery may also cause damage to the pelvic area. However, mild, short-term intestinal obstruction usually does not affect fertility. If intestinal obstruction has been diagnosed, it should be treated as soon as possible to avoid long-term effects on the reproductive system.

Patients with intestinal obstruction should optimize treatment during pregnancy preparation, including minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery to relieve adhesions, intestinal resection or adhesion lysis to correct intestinal obstruction; at the same time, attention should be paid to nutritional support, and adequate intake of protein, high-fiber foods such as lean meat, eggs, and fruits and vegetables rich in trace elements. Maintain good intestinal function on a daily basis, avoid constipation, and help digestion through moderate exercise such as walking or yoga. In addition, regular check-ups are required during pregnancy preparation, and if there are serious symptoms, seek medical attention immediately to ensure that the intestinal obstruction problem is solved and the conditions for pregnancy are maintained at the same time.
