What should I do if I still can’t poop even though I’ve taken a corkscrew?



If there is no bowel movement even after the use of corkscrew, it is necessary to clarify whether there is intestinal obstruction, improper diet, neurosis, etc., and intervene by giving medication or surgical treatment.

1. Intestinal obstruction: In addition to no bowel movement, accompanied by abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting, etc., the possibility of intestinal obstruction is considered to be higher, and it is necessary to go to the hospital immediately, combined with auxiliary examination to clarify the diagnosis.

2. Improper diet: too little food intake, unbalanced nutrition, too fine diet, insufficient dietary fiber, etc., no fecal residue formation, can also lead to the above symptoms. Glycerin enema can be used if the amount of cecrops is too small to have a defecatory effect.

3. Neurosis: when the patient is in long-term emotional tension, anxiety and other conditions, it will lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, causing defecation difficulties. Glycerin enemas or lactulose can be used as interventions to solve defecation problems while treating mental illnesses at the same time.

If the above symptoms occur, it is recommended to go to the hospital for early treatment. All of the above medications should be used under the supervision of a physician.
