With the accelerated pace of work life, our understanding of constipation continues to grow. We are also always exploring constipation in special patients. Today, we will tell you about the many links between hepatitis B patients and constipation. What are the reasons why hepatitis B patients are prone to constipation? 1, inappropriate food composition Food with more protein and not enough carbohydrates. Especially in children with hepatitis B, parents believe that protein is nutritious and often more is better. As a result, the intestinal decomposition of protein bacteria than fermentation bacteria, so that the intestinal fermentation bacteria less, resulting in alkaline stools, dry, the number of bowel movements correspondingly reduced. If there are more carbohydrates, there are more intestinal fermenting bacteria, and the acid produced by fermentation increases, and the stool can be softened. If the food has more fat and more carbohydrates, the stool will be moist and easy to discharge. Food fiber can promote intestinal peristalsis, shorten the time for intestinal contents to pass through the intestine, play an osmotic role in the large intestine, and increase the volume and moisture of stool. Due to the modern standard of living has improved, high protein eaten more, the intake of food fiber is not enough, will make the stool dry, difficult to discharge. Therefore, it is important to eat more vegetables and fruits. Water is the body’s own lubricant, enough water is conducive to the softening of the stool. More water to avoid constipation. 2, inadequate diet Because some classes of people, in and out of restaurants, develop the habit of alcohol, there is also that beer is liquid bread can not eat, can not be a meal without wine. As a result, spill enough to eat, eat less. After digestion of the residue is also less. In addition, the lack of sugar can make the stool dry, long-term lack of food, resulting in constipation. Constipation is the causative factor of rectal cancer. The incidence rate abroad is higher than that in China. 3, emotional and behavioral factors, causing intestinal dysfunction Because defecation is controlled by the human brain at will. There are due to work tension, operators on the assembly line or certain unexpected events such as emotional tension, apprehension, panic, depressive psychosis, etc., can delay the desire to defecate through the random and involuntary reflex activities of the brain and the vegetative nervous system. Long-term irregularity in life, lack of bowel training, and failure to form a conditioned reflex to defecate. As a result, frequent and arbitrary extension of defecation time or change of defecation pattern will cause the rectal wall receptor elbow fecal sensory retardation, unable to form a defecation reflex, and constipation. Chronic hepatitis B, the course of the disease is protracted, often causing plant nervous disorders, resulting in delayed gastrointestinal movement, feces is not easy to discharge. It is not caused by fire. What should I do for constipation in hepatitis B patients? For patients with mild constipation can be treated by diet, hepatitis B constipation should eat more fiber-containing foods in daily life, such as cabbage, rape, spinach, etc.. However, it is not advisable to eat more celery, raw radish and other harder vegetables to avoid causing gastrointestinal bleeding. Patients with hepatitis B should develop the habit of having bowel movements on time. If the patient is constipated for a long time, he can take lactulose orally to acidify the intestine, inhibit the reproduction of bacteria, so that the toxin substances can be reduced, and also play a laxative role. In terms of fruits, people with hepatitis B constipation can eat more apples, watermelon, melons, papaya, pears, grapefruit, oranges, bananas, mulberries, water chestnuts, kiwi, etc. It is better to choose different fruits according to your constitution at the same time. For people with severe hepatitis B constipation, you can’t just treat constipation through dietary therapy, it is better to go to a specialized hospital for systematic diagnosis in order to find out if you are suffering from other more serious diseases, such as colon redundancy, pelvic tumor compression and colon cancer, so as to achieve early treatment.
