Congestion is one of the most actual problems of modern society. It is known that every second person suffers from congestion in developed counties of the world, hereby women – almost 2 times more frequently in comparison with men. One of the factors which promote congestions is pregnancy and postpartum period. Almost all gynecologists and 50% of pregnant women are aware of the problem. Colon dyskinesia is detected in 115 from 200 pregnant women. Such large rates of the disorder in pregnant women are associated with physiological shifts in digestive system and alterations of its regulation throughout gestation period. The regular nutrition and adequate physical activity play the main role in prevention of congestions during pregnancy. The awareness of women of rational approaches to congestion therapy is also rather important.
