There is no direct relationship between smoking and constipation.
Constipation is mainly due to intestinal dysfunction, gastrointestinal peristalsis, or gastrointestinal nerve damage.
Such as elderly patients with intestinal dysfunction, gastrointestinal mucosal damage, easy to cause constipation; for young patients, if you usually drink less water, or often eat too dry and too hard food and fried food, resulting in less water intake, fecal dryness is difficult to discharge, will also cause constipation.
In addition, some patients have gastrointestinal nerve damage, resulting in intestinal muscle tone, defecation power is insufficient, will also cause the symptoms of constipation.
Smoking generally leads to respiratory diseases, such as infectious diseases of the lungs, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and even tumor diseases. Long-term smoking can cause patients to be prone to fire, which also has the risk of causing constipation.
Patients with constipation should actively make adjustments to their diet and lifestyle, and if constipation cannot be relieved for a long period of time, they should go to the hospital in time for consultation and treatment.
