A fecal stone is a hard, stone-like solid that forms when a certain food is eaten and interacts with the digestive juices. It can be treated with medication or surgery.
Faecal stone is often caused by the failure of feces to pass out of the body for a long period of time. Usually, patients will have symptoms such as abdominal distension, paroxysmal abdominal pain, and difficulty in defecation, etc. Patients can be treated with medications such as Lactulose and Polyethylene Glycol Electrolyte Dispersion.
Patients with fecaliths should avoid eating foods such as hawthorn and persimmons on a daily basis. Persimmons and hawthorns contain a large amount of tannic acid, which combines with digestive juices to form a hard solid substance that can aggravate the condition and lead to gastric and intestinal stones and other diseases. Some of the large fecal stones will also block the intestines and form intestinal obstruction, at which time surgical treatment is required.
Dietary attention to maintain a light diet, do not eat spicy and stimulating food, pay attention to do not drink, smoke, eat more vitamin-rich food, help promote intestinal peristalsis, reduce fecal stone production.
The above drugs should be used under the guidance of professional physicians. It is recommended that patients with fecaliths should go to the hospital in time to avoid aggravating their condition.
