Constipation is more common in sedentary workers, or those with limited activity, or those who are overly stressed. In recent years, due to the influence of psychological and social factors and changes in the structure of the diet, the incidence of constipation is increasing, the age of onset is getting lower and lower, and there are few young adults with long-term constipation. With the increase in work pressure and the acceleration of the pace of life, more and more modern people’s daily worries from “what to eat” to “how to discharge”. Constipation has become a daily problem that more and more people struggle with. Constipation” is defined as having too few bowel movements, or difficulty in defecating, poor bowel movement, dry, hard stools, and low volume. Strictly speaking, constipation is a symptom, not a disease. However, this “symptom” is a problem for thousands of people. People also wonder: what are the factors that cause constipation? Here, we might as well list some: 1, psychosomatic constipation: common in some long-term mental tension, work pressure, less physical activity; 2, poor dietary constipation: because the diet is too fine, long-term lack of dietary fiber, drink less water, coupled with the quiet not like to move, so that the intestinal tract stimulation is insufficient, causing constipation; 3, long-term use of certain drugs leading to constipation: common in the long-term use of Painkillers, antihypertensives, diuretics, some calcium preparations, antidepressants and narcotics; 4, constipation caused by intestinal diseases: the most common is suffering from intestinal irritability, and can be manifested at the same time as “constipation – diarrhea” alternately. In addition, intestinal tumors, inflammation, adhesions and surgery, etc., may cause mechanical stenosis of the intestine, so that the operation of intestinal contents is blocked, resulting in constipation; 5, systemic diseases caused by constipation: such as diabetes, uremia, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, etc., damage defecation function, can cause control of gastrointestinal tract plant neuropathy, resulting in constipation. 6, incompetent constipation: common in the elderly, due to weakened muscle strength, or malnutrition, chronic wasting diseases, etc., resulting in muscle weakness related to defecation, causing defecation difficulties. The primary cause of constipation should be actively and effectively treated. For example, for mechanical constipation, intestinal obstruction should be lifted first; for diabetic patients, blood sugar should be controlled first to delay or reduce the lesion of vegetative nerves, etc. For patients with constipation without intestinal stenosis and other organic pathologies, the following approaches can be taken: 1, increase the intake of dietary fiber. Constipated patients should be encouraged to consume 1-2 meals of coarse grains daily, and at the same time, eat more vegetables and fruits with high fiber content, such as celery, leek, cabbage, rape, etc. In addition, general constipation patients consume 5-10 grams of konjac daily also has some effect. It should be noted that the dietary fiber intake should be decided according to their gastrointestinal tolerance, gradually increase from a small amount, so as not to cause or aggravate abdominal pain, abdominal distension. 2, encourage friends with constipation to drink more water. Drinking 1 cup of light salt water, or cow (yogurt) milk, or honey in the morning is a proven method for many constipated patients. 3, according to the physical condition, moderate increase in exercise to enhance the strength of the abdominal muscles, while improving the regulation of the intestinal tract by the plant nerves. This appears to be more meaningful to elderly patients with constipation. 4.Do not eat irritating food and condiments, such as chili, curry, etc. 5, moderate increase in the amount of cooking oil, such as soybean oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, etc., as intestinal lubricants to facilitate laxation. But for friends suffering from obesity, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, this method should be used with caution. 6, can use laxative measures, including the use of laxatives, such as laxative, but should be careful not to use too much to cause diarrhea. Topical medications such as corked milk can also be tried. 7, to develop a good habit of regular defecation, which is particularly important for elderly patients with fecal impaction. 8, the treatment of constipation requires special emphasis on individualization. Attention should be paid to investigating the personality of the patient and relieving their psychological pressure, which is often important and effective for many friends suffering from constipation.
