Constipation may lead to hemorrhoids, diverticular disease, intestinal obstruction, increased blood pressure and other serious consequences. 1. Hemorrhoids: Prolonged constipation can cause accumulation of feces and pressure on the rectum, resulting in poor circulation of venous blood, which in turn leads to hemorrhoids. 2. Diverticular disease: if the patient is constipated for a long time, excessive force will be exerted during defecation, which will increase the pressure in the intestinal lumen and cause the weak parts of the intestinal wall to bulge out, inducing diverticular disease. 3. Intestinal obstruction: prolonged constipation can cause fecal stone obstruction of the intestinal canal, and the passage of intestinal contents will be impeded, resulting in intestinal obstruction. 4. Increased blood pressure: constipation is often accompanied by dry stools, defecation, if you continue to force, will accelerate the contraction of the heart, resulting in increased blood pressure. If the patient himself has hypertension or cardiovascular disease, it may cause cerebral hemorrhage in serious cases. In addition, for patients in the decompensated stage of liver cirrhosis, constipation will lead to toxins not being excreted in time, which is easy to induce hepatic encephalopathy. If the symptoms of constipation are serious, or persist without improvement, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital in a timely manner, to clarify the cause of the disease, and then carry out targeted treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
