Pancreatitis can cause abnormal pancreatic function as well as impairment of normal intestinal function, resulting in intestinal dysfunction, which can lead to long-term constipation.
The patient should improve the constipation by adjusting the diet structure (e.g. regular diet, increase the intake of dietary fiber, drink more water), appropriate increase in exercise, and develop a good habit of defecation, etc., but also follow the doctor’s advice to apply bifidobacteria, lactobacillus tablets and other probiotics to regulate the intestinal flora, and the patient with severe constipation can also follow the doctor’s advice to apply lactulose, polyethylene glycol and other laxative to treat the disease.
If the symptoms of constipation in patients with pancreatitis do not improve, they should go to the regular hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor for standardized treatment, so as not to delay the condition, resulting in adverse consequences.
