Long-term constipation in women may be caused by factors such as indigestion, intestinal flora imbalance, hypothyroidism, and intestinal tumors. It can be treated by applying medications such as domperidone, probiotics, levothyroxine sodium, as well as surgical treatment.
1. Indigestion: Poor dietary and living habits, such as irregular meals, low intake of dietary fiber, sedentary lifestyle after meals, low exercise, etc., may lead to indigestion, which may cause long-term constipation. Domperidone can be given to promote gastric power treatment.
2. Imbalance of intestinal flora: Eating spicy and stimulating food frequently may lead to imbalance of intestinal flora, which may also cause long-term constipation. Probiotics can be given to improve the intestinal flora.
3. Hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism leads to decreased metabolic rate and slower gastrointestinal peristalsis, resulting in long-term constipation, which can be treated with levothyroxine sodium.
4. Intestinal tumors: when there are space-occupying lesions in the intestines, it will cause abnormal defecation and may lead to long-term constipation. Surgical treatment is usually given.
If there is constipation for a long time, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible to clarify the cause of constipation and give relevant measures with the help of doctors. Medications should be used as prescribed by the doctor.
