What to do if you are constipated and don’t have a bowel movement for a few days

Constipation without bowel movement for a few days can be treated by medication, enema and biofeedback. 1. Drugs: you can choose to use osmotic laxatives, including lactulose, polyethylene glycol electrolyte dispersions, etc., can relieve the symptoms of constipation. Lubricating laxatives can also be chosen, which can lubricate the intestinal wall and soften the stool, so that the feces can be easily discharged. Commonly used are corkscrew, mineral oil, liquid paraffin and so on. 2. Enema: For patients with fecal impaction or severe defecation obstruction type constipation, clean enema can be used to lubricate the intestinal tract under the guidance of doctor’s staff. 3. Biofeedback: it is through the anorectal function test to make patients understand their own physiological abnormalities, and gradually learn to correct them, which can make the rectum more sensitive to dilatation stimulation, rebuild the rectal-anal reflexes, and improve the coordinated movement of the muscle groups during defecation to increase the number of bowel movements. In addition, it is recommended that patients who are constipated for a few days without defecation go to the hospital in a timely manner, and follow the doctor’s instructions for relative treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
