Patients with constipation should use anthraquinone laxatives with the change of living habits and the acceleration of the pace of life, now more and more people suffer from constipation, most of them do not go to the regular hospital, but take some laxative drugs, but now many laxative drugs have side effects, many of the constipation patients we see in the clinic are not effective or have serious complications before coming to treatment. Nowadays, most of the laxative drugs sold outside contain anthraquinone-based laxative ingredients (such as intestinal clearing tea, Bishengyuan, detoxification capsules, Benadryl, etc.), which can lead to habitual constipation in the long term, and in serious cases, colon melanosis and intestinal obstruction, fecal congestion, endocrine disorders, neurological disorders and other diseases. Therefore, we recommend patients to use anthraquinone-based laxatives with caution. They can increase intestinal peristalsis and assist in defecation through dietary regulation and proper exercise, and take laxative drugs under the guidance of a doctor if necessary, together with acupuncture, massage and physiotherapy, and acupuncture point burial to treat.
