3 effective ways to relieve constipation
Loading...
According to the Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Constipation, constipation is defined as a decrease in the frequency of bowel movements, hard and dry stools (such as sheep feces balls), and/or difficulty in defecation.
A decrease in the number of bowel movements is defined as less than 3 bowel movements per week, compared to this indicator.
Constipation includes straining to defecate, difficulty in excreting, feeling of incomplete defecation, and sometimes the need for manual defecation to assist defecation. If this condition persists for at least 6 months, it is chronic constipation.
The proctologist tells you
If you have chronic constipation
Please do not use the following methods too often
01
cathartic
Taking laxatives can only temporarily assist bowel movements, and cannot restore normal bowel function, so treating the symptoms is not a cure, and long-term antidiarrheal drugs can be harmful to the body.
Long-term use of laxatives
It is possible to cause the following injuries to the body
1. Intestinal dysfunction: Long-term or frequent use of laxatives may lead to intestinal dysfunction and reduce the ability of intestinal voluntary peristalsis.
2. Dependence: It is easy to become dependent, and if you stop using laxatives, constipation may worsen.
3. Affect nutrient absorption: Affect the absorption of nutrients in the intestines, which may lead to malnutrition.
4. Cause electrolyte imbalance: It may cause an imbalance of electrolytes such as potassium and sodium in the body.
5. Causes dehydration: Overuse of laxatives can lead to a significant loss of water in the body, causing dehydration.
6. Cause intestinal mucosal damage: cause certain damage to the intestinal mucosa and increase the risk of intestinal infection.
7. Cause burden on the liver and kidneys: It needs to be metabolized by the liver and kidneys, and long-term use may increase the burden on the liver and kidneys.
8. Increased risk of colorectal cancer: Long-term use of stimulant laxatives can lead to "colorectal melanosis", which may increase the risk of colorectal cancer in severe cases.
02
Kayser
The active ingredient of Kaiserol is glycerin, which is a stimulant suppository, which is generally used urgently, and regular use may affect the normal function of the colon, and will also produce dependence, and the most terrible thing is that if you don't use it, you can't pull it out at all.
03
banana
In fact, the dietary fiber content of bananas is not high, and the amount of dietary fiber contained in 100 grams of food is: 1.2 grams of bananas, 1.7 grams of apples, and 3.1 grams of pears. In terms of dietary fiber, bananas are not as effective as pears and apples. Moreover, the tannic acid in bananas may aggravate constipation.
1. Develop the habit of regular bowel movements. For example, when you wake up in the morning and two hours after eating, go to squat regularly to form a conditioned reflex, and concentrate when defecation, do not play with mobile phones, and avoid subjective interference.
2. Supplement dietary fiber. Inadequate intake is one of the main causes of constipation. At present, the first-line medication for constipation recommended by authoritative guidelines at home and abroad is dietary fiber preparations, such as wheat cellulose granules, its main ingredient is wheat cellulose, which can help smooth bowel movements, and at the same time can promote the growth of intestinal probiotics, regulate intestinal status, restore normal bowel movements and reduce the recurrence of constipation.
3. Drink plenty of water and exercise moderately. A number of constipation guidelines also recommend a daily water intake of 1.5 liters to 2 liters, moderate exercise can also speed up intestinal peristalsis, conducive to laxative, and finally if the constipation is severe, you should seek medical attention offline in time, and do not blindly use some detoxification and cleansing products.
