Methods to promote defecation include dietary modification, lifestyle adjustment and medication. 1. Dietary adjustments: Drink more water as appropriate to avoid water absorption in the intestines; consume more crude fiber foods as well as fresh vegetables and fruits, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and help defecation. 2. Lifestyle adjustment: develop the habit of regular defecation, at the same time, whole body exercise and abdominal massage can promote intestinal peristalsis, thus promoting defecation. 3. Take medications: including laxatives, such as Kesel; osmotic laxatives, such as lactulose, polyethylene glycol dispersions; if necessary, enemas can be used to help defecation.
