Constipation can cause physical and psychological harm to a person, including anal fissures, hemorrhoids, anxiety, and insomnia.
Constipated patients have hard fecal matter and need to strain to defecate, which may lead to anal pain, anal fissure, hemorrhoids and anal papillitis and other symptoms of perianal and rectal damage, and some patients are susceptible to abdominal hernia due to increased intra-abdominal pressure caused by prolonged straining to defecate. Some patients with long-term constipation can feel the stripes in the sigmoid colon area of the left lower abdomen, accompanied by epigastric pain, abdominal distension, loss of appetite and other symptoms.
In addition, long-term defecation difficulties and prolonged time for each defecation, patients still have a sense of feces after defecation, which may lead to dizziness, irritability, anxiety, insomnia and other psychological symptoms over time.
Therefore, patients with chronic constipation should go to the hospital in time for timely treatment with the help of doctors to avoid further aggravation of the condition.
