The claim of “1 needle for stubborn constipation” lacks scientific basis, and patients need to undergo professional general treatment and medication.
1. General treatment: patients with persistent constipation need to follow the doctor’s advice in their daily life, a healthy lifestyle, such as eating a regular diet, eat more fresh vegetables, more water and dietary fiber, less barbecue and other spicy and stimulating food; but also appropriate exercise, which promotes gastrointestinal peristalsis to reduce the severity of constipation.
2. medication: patients can choose laxatives to take, such as polyethylene glycol, lactulose and bisacodyl and other drugs; patients can also choose to promote the power of the drug, such as itopride, mosapride and plukapili and other drugs; and enema can also treat constipation, such as corkscrew, soapy water enema and so on. These medications should be used in accordance with medical advice.
Patients with persistent constipation should not blindly listen to the folk rumors of “a needle treatment”, which will delay the treatment, patients need to go to the hospital in time for standardized diagnosis and treatment.
