Causes of bloating during pregnancy

Bloating or flatulence occurs when a large amount of gas in the intestine due to the decomposition of food there. Normally, it is released in small quantities and not being penalized. If it stands out a lot, then it causes discomfort, distention of the abdomen, sometimes - pain. Flatulence is often associated with constipation. All this is very concerned about pregnant women. The reasons of occurrence of flatulence in pregnant women may be several.

The pregnant woman's blood contains large amounts of the female hormone progesterone, which causes relaxation of smooth muscles of internal organs.

Relaxation of smooth muscles of the intestine contributes to stagnation of food in it, and flatulence.

During pregnancy can worsen chronic gastrointestinal disease, which afflict women before pregnancy. Congenital enzymatic deficiency may also be a cause of pregnancy flatulence - not completely digested in the stomach and small intestine the food passes into the colon where decomposes with the evolution of large amounts of gases. All these factors can lead to dysbacteriosis - a reduction in the volume of the intestine of normal intestinal microflora, which is involved in digestion and increase in conditionally pathogenic microflora which breaks down food to produce large amounts of gases.

On the big stages of pregnancy the uterus backs the intestines, leading to constipation and flatulence Flatulence - when too much gas .

Bloating during pregnancy may be associated with an unstable condition of the nervous system of women: all the stress and anxiety (including about flatulence) only reinforce this unpleasant phenomenon.

Aggregation of cells - it is their coalescence into a multicellular formation (unit). As a result of the aggregation of blood cells in the blood vessels formed clots - clots that obstruct the vessel. It is a defensive reaction of the body, which allows the body to avoid a large loss of blood by breakage of a blood vessel. But for various violations of blood clots occur in the blood vessels of the whole and it is very dangerous because the blood supply is blocked (as it brings with it nutrients and oxygen) to specific organs and tissues. That clots of blood vessels cause severe diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke Stroke - a serious brain injury .

Even small blockage of the blood vessels of the placenta is fraught with serious complications for the child, especially the part of the brain - the body is very sensitive to lack of oxygen (hypoxia). The consequences of fetal hypoxia may be irreversible. Curantil relaxes the walls of small blood vessels, working on their muscles (vazodilyatiruyuschee action), which improves blood circulation and its propensity to aggregate.
