Abstract

Little attention is now given to investigations of intestinal diseases in pregnant women despite the fact that they are a common condition. One of them is constipation during pregnancy. The cause of intestinal dysfunction during pregnancy is multifactorial and may be associated with the hormonal and mechanical changes that occur in the pregnant woman. There are four main types of laxatives: bulk-forming, osmotic, stimulant, and stool softener ones. The paper presents data on the safety and efficiency of using the laxatives during pregnancy.
