Patient Question: It’s been about ten years, now once every three to five days, dry stools with mucus. I’ve been taking a lot of medication and it’s not getting better? What is the best way to treat it? Doctor’s reply: constipation belongs to the lower gastrointestinal tract and systemic functional diseases, need a comprehensive and integrated management, relying on medicines alone often does not help. I give you a suggestion: constipation experts really can not, often will give the patient to say this sentence “you are smart head, stupid intestines”, the patient will feel more satisfied with the departure; however, anorectal doctors can almost rarely see, stupid people to see the constipation (defecation is not smooth), or perhaps they are “Stupid brains, smart bowels”. Of course it won’t be exactly that, it could well be that something is wrong with the emotions, anxiety, depression somatization causing dysfunctional bowel. That’s why I think it needs to be regulated from a life perspective and deep within the psyche to achieve a radical cure. Sometimes it is necessary to go to our anorectal section to check if there is any organic pathology that causes constipation, I wish you a speedy recovery!
