How to treat stubborn constipation effectively



Persistent constipation is well treated with medications such as lactulose and mosapride, and lifestyle changes.

Commonly used medications include laxatives (e.g. magnesium sulfate, lactulose), gastrointestinal stimulants (e.g. mosapride), and suppositories (e.g. cecrops), etc., which can improve the symptoms of constipation. If the symptoms are serious and the effect of medication is poor, surgery can be performed.

To maintain good living habits for a long time, drink more water, eat more vegetables, fruits and other high-fiber foods, such as mushrooms, kelp, bananas. More exercise, such as walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, etc., is conducive to promoting gastrointestinal motility.

However, it should be noted that you must choose the appropriate medication under the guidance of your doctor, follow the doctor’s instructions for medication, and do not use medication on your own.
