The solutions for constipation in 17-year-old teenagers include lifestyle intervention, medication and surgery.
1. Lifestyle intervention: increase food rich in dietary fiber, such as all kinds of fresh vegetables, fruits, etc., drink more water; establish good defecation habits; maintain a good mood, avoid excessive pressure; appropriate physical exercise.
2. Medication: If you can’t get relief from lifestyle intervention, you can take medication such as polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder and lactulose under doctor’s guidance to promote defecation.
3. Surgical treatment: Constipation caused by hemorrhoids can be considered for anastomotic hemorrhoidectomy.
If constipation is not relieved by lifestyle interventions, it is recommended that 17-year-olds go to the hospital and ask their doctor to make a judgment and give them a treatment plan.
