What should I do if I can’t poop?

If you can’t poop, consider constipation, which may be caused by dietary factors such as consuming too much fried chicken, or by pathologic factors such as irritable bowel syndrome and intestinal obstruction. It can be relieved and treated by dietary adjustments such as increasing water intake, medications such as lactobacillus, and surgical treatments. 1. Dietary factors: Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables and coarse grains, such as dragon fruits, bananas, celery, spinach, etc., which are rich in vitamins and dietary fibers, effectively promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and improve the symptoms of difficult defecation, bloating and abdominal pain. In daily life, we should pay attention to the intake of water, drink more warm water. 2. Pathological factors: Bisacodyl, lactulose, polyethylene glycol and other laxatives can be chosen to stimulate the intestinal tract and increase the volume of stools, which is conducive to the discharge of feces; probiotics such as Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bacillus subtilis and other probiotic bacteria can regulate the balance of the intestinal flora, thus improving the symptoms of constipation, bloating and so on. If patients are constipated due to intestinal obstruction, they should undergo timely surgical treatment. If there is fecal matter that can not be pulled out, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time in order to clarify the diagnosis and carry out targeted treatment. In addition, all of the above medications should be taken under the guidance of a doctor and should not be used without authorization.
