Constipation is a disease that affects the patient’s quality of life and requires comprehensive treatment due to poor bowel movements. With the continuous improvement of people’s standard of living, accelerated work pace, increased psychological stress, reduced dietary fiber intake and other factors, constipation is becoming a modern benign disease plaguing our lives. Constipation treatment generally starts with diet and living. Correction of bad dietary habits, such as not eating breakfast, irregular diet time, low water intake, excessive drinking of strong tea or coffee, etc.; correction of bad defecation habits, such as forgetting to defecate due to busy work, forcing to defecate, ignoring the intention to squat for a long time, relying on laxatives, etc.; correction of bad habits, such as irregular work and rest, too little exercise, emotional depression, etc.. Constipation is often caused by long-term bad habits, it is difficult to slowly correct these habits, but if you can insist on changing these bad habits, even without medication, some patients can get good treatment results. Medication for constipation can be used in Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Chinese herbal treatments tend to treat both the symptoms and the root cause by tonifying the deficiencies and promoting the lower method, hoping to adjust the imbalance of yin and yang to achieve a relatively long period of relief. Western medicine treatment is divided into two categories (a) stimulating laxatives: such as rhubarb, senna, phenolphthalein, castor oil, etc. These drugs work by stimulating the colonic mucosa, intermuscular plexus, smooth muscle to enhance intestinal peristalsis and mucus secretion. Long-term application of such drugs can lead to laxative constipation. (B) mechanical laxatives are divided into four categories: 1, swelling laxatives, such as wheat cellulose, such drugs contain more plant fiber, into the intestinal tract after absorbing water to make the stool swollen, easy to discharge. These drugs can be used for a long time; 2, salt laxatives, such as mannitol, magnesium sulfate, etc. These drugs work fast and effective, but can not be applied for a long time. 3, lubricants, such as paraffin oil, such drugs can lubricate the intestinal cavity, help defecation, but also can not be long-term application; 4, osmotic laxatives, such as lactulose oral solution, through the absorption of water to achieve the purpose of laxative. Both traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine should be combined with the patient’s situation at the time to take comprehensive treatment, and should be adhered to for a considerable period of time. For patients with severe constipation symptoms, intestinal hydrotherapy can also be considered, which can quickly relieve patients’ symptoms by mechanically passing water to expel stool from the intestine. When the effect of medication is not satisfactory, surgical treatment can be considered. In recent years, surgical treatment of intractable constipation has achieved certain efficacy. In the surgical treatment of constipation, we tend to divide constipation into 3 categories: slow-transmission colon constipation, outlet obstructive constipation, and mixed constipation. Slow-transmission colon constipation is characterized by long intervals between bowel movements, abdominal pain and bloating, and poor appetite. In recent years, this type of stubborn constipation to take the large intestine intestinal segment of resection, received a certain effect. For these patients, biofeedback, STARR surgery, and other perineal surgery to repair the anatomical shape of the perineal area to relieve the symptoms of exit obstruction can also have certain effects. In conclusion, constipation is a complex disease influenced by many factors, and the treatment of constipation requires systematic guidance and progressive treatment, and should not be done in a hurry.
