The methods of defecation and bowel cleansing include improving life habits, medication such as lactulose and mosapride, biofeedback therapy and cleansing enema.
1. Improve lifestyle habits: exercise more, drink more water, increase dietary fiber intake, regular bowel movements, and prohibit the abuse of laxatives.
2. Drug therapy: laxatives (such as polyethylene glycol, magnesium sulfate, lactulose, liquid paraffin, etc.), pro-dynamic drugs (commonly used Itopride, Mosapride), regulation of intestinal flora (Bifidobacteria, Lactobacillus tablets, etc.).
3. Biofeedback therapy: patients can intuitively sense the functional state of the pelvic floor muscles that control defecation through pressure measurement and electromyographic equipment, and then “realize” how to relax the pelvic floor muscles during defecation, and at the same time increase the intra-abdominal pressure so as to realize defecation.
4. Cleansing enema: For patients with fecal impaction, according to the specific condition, suppositories (glycerin suppositories) or saline can be used for cleansing enema.
The patient should consult the doctor for a clear diagnosis and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
