Proper treatment of constipation requires the need to keep in mind the mantra

Constipation refers to a decrease in the number of bowel movements, every two to three days or more, irregularity, dry and hard stool, and often having difficulty defecating.

　　In patients with long-term constipation, in addition to various clinical manifestations of the primary disease that causes constipation, constipation itself can also cause systemic or local symptoms. Because the feces stay in the intestine for a long time can cause bloating and lower abdominal pain, but also cause abnormal fermentation, decay, and produce a large number of harmful toxins to the human body, resulting in headaches, dizziness, loss of appetite, bitter mouth, irritability, fatigue and so on. If the intestinal toxin is not excreted, it will also cause lesions such as bowel cancer.

　　Relevant statistics show that the incidence of constipation in the elderly is as high as more than 30%, which has become a problem that cannot be ignored affecting the quality of life of the elderly. Due to the decline of physiological function in the elderly, gastrointestinal function is easy to be disordered, coupled with less physical activity, decreased food intake, or due to the staple food is too fine, the lack of coarse fiber vegetables in the diet and other reasons, may form habitual constipation. Some people with high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral arteriosclerosis, chronic emphysema and other diseases, such as habitual constipation and excessive force during defecation, are likely to cause accidents.

　　Therefore, constipation needs timely treatment, especially the elderly, due to physical reasons, there are more constipation conditions, must be treated in time to avoid danger. In the treatment of constipation, patients need to remember the following "tips":

　　One is "water"

　　Patients can insist on drinking warm boiled water that is naturally cooled after boiling on the day, drink at least 8-10 cups a day, or drink cassia tea and green tea, and insist on drinking a cup of boiled water every night before going to bed, waking up in the middle of the night and after waking up in the morning. It not only plays the role of "internal washing" and "thin blood", but also stimulates the gastrointestinal tract and is conducive to softening feces and stool.

　　The second is "soft"

　　After people reach middle age, the gastrointestinal function is reduced, and it is necessary to eat cooked and soft foods, which is conducive to spleen and stomach digestion and absorption and intestinal excretion.

　　The third is "coarse"

　　Often eat foods rich in dietary fiber, such as whole grain (coarse grain) food, potatoes, greens, white radish, celery, loofah, spinach, kelp, tomatoes, apples, bananas, pears, etc., every day can be appropriately selected several of these foods to eat, in order to stimulate intestinal peristalsis, accelerate fecal excretion.

　　The fourth is "platoon"

　　Regular (morning) bowel movements without delay, so that the intestines are clear. Wash the anus and perineum with warm water after defecation to keep it clean.

　　Fifth, "moving"

　　Moderate exercise, jogging and walking every morning and evening to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. In addition, do abdominal breathing once in the morning and once in the evening for 15 minutes, so that the lower abdomen and lower back have a warm feeling. With the undulating movement of the abdominal muscles, the activity of the stomach and intestines increases, the digestive function is also enhanced, and the rejection of the dregs is more thorough.

　　Sixth, "kneading"

Rub your abdomen with your hands folded, 100 times a day, morning and evening, and after napping, centering on your navel. It can promote blood circulation in the abdominal cavity, help digestion, and pass through the stomach and intestines, thereby promoting smooth excretion of stool. #Toutiao Health Academy##Healer Benevolence##日常医学科普 #
