What are some tips for bowel movements

There are no clinical tips for defecation. Difficulty in defecation is usually caused by improper diet, intestinal polyps, intestinal obstruction, etc. Patients can follow the doctor’s instructions and be treated by oral excretory drugs, enemas and surgery. 1. Improper diet: If the intake of dietary fiber is too little, resulting in slow peristalsis, it will cause bowel movements. You can drink more water, massage the abdomen and appropriate exercise to help defecation, if the effect is not good, you can also follow the doctor’s instructions to use keserol, mannitol and other drugs for treatment. 2. Intestinal polyps: intestinal polyps, if large or multiple intestinal polyps, can easily cause narrowing of the intestinal lumen, leading to defecation difficulties, but also lead to bleeding. Patients can take phenolphthalein tablets, lactulose oral solution to help defecation. It can also be treated by endoscopic polyp removal and endoscopic mucosal resection. 3. Intestinal obstruction: If the intestinal tumor causes intestinal obstruction, the intestinal tract becomes narrow, and it is difficult for feces to pass through, which leads to laborious defecation. Patients can take magnesium sulfate, polycarbophil calcium tablets and other anti-diarrhea drugs to promote intestinal peristalsis, and also can improve the symptoms through enema. Patients who have long-term defecation difficulties should go to the hospital to do relevant examinations to clarify the cause of the disease for targeted treatment.
