Lactobacillus can treat constipation caused by intestinal flora imbalance, but simple application of lactobacillus cannot cure constipation.
Constipation is usually caused by reduced secretion of digestive juices by the gastrointestinal tract, weakening of intestinal tone and peristalsis, weakening of gastrocolic reflexes, so that the food stays in the intestines for too long and the water is over-absorbed.
Lactobacillus belongs to a probiotic group in the intestinal flora, which can improve the internal environment of the intestines and restore the balance of intestinal flora. At the same time, lactic acid secreted by lactobacilli can lower the pH value of the intestines, inhibit the harmful intestinal flora, promote intestinal peristalsis, and help digestion, thus relieving constipation.
If the patient’s constipation is not relieved, he should go to the hospital for diagnosis and symptomatic treatment.
