Elderly people who want to have a bowel movement but can’t pull it out may be constipation, intestinal polyps, intestinal cancer, etc., according to the different causes of the general treatment, medication or surgical treatment, radiotherapy and so on. 1. For constipation, we should pay attention to drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and increase the activity; we can take oral methylcellulose, lactulose and other laxatives as prescribed by the doctor; for those who are ineffective in conservative treatments and whose daily life is seriously affected, we can do colon resection or subtotal resection of the colon. 2.
