Difficulty in defecation during pancreatitis recovery may be caused by physiologic factors, gastrointestinal dysfunction and intestinal obstruction. 1. Physiological factors: too little water intake, too much fat-rich food intake and too little fiber intake during the recovery period of pancreatitis cause dry stools, resulting in difficulty in defecation. 2. Gastrointestinal dysfunction: patients recovering from pancreatitis have just resumed eating and drinking in the intestines, and the secretion of digestive juices is not enough to fully digest the food and the peristaltic function of the gastrointestinal tract has become weaker, resulting in intestinal dysfunction, which can lead to difficulties in defecation. 3. Intestinal obstruction: Inflammation in the recovery period of pancreatitis has not yet completely subsided, and there is inflammation oozing out from the surrounding area, which may stimulate the intestinal tract and cause incomplete intestinal obstruction, leading to obstruction of the discharge channel, thus causing difficulty in defecation.
