Dr. Supamas further explained that When looking at patients with chronic constipation, they will find that they may have intestinal insufficiency. slow motion This group encourages The feeling of the intestines may be less than others, about 3-4 days, may have pain once, have experienced 2-3 weeks without defecating at all, or 1 month, defecating once. which is about bowel movements that may be slow may include the small intestine and other abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract even eating normal food

Including many people who say prolonged constipation causes acne, scientific proof is not clear. is just an observation

How to treat frequent constipation?

Dr. Supamas explained that must be noted that constipation Is it related to behavior? Behavioral adjustments can help in some patients, such as eating less fiber. Some people eat a little more vegetables and can have a normal bowel movement. But many people who eat a lot of vegetables are still not out. You can increase the amount of fiber naturally or in sachets and you need to drink a lot of water and have the right bowel habits. may need to retrain Responds promptly to the pain of excretion. Increasing exercise such as aerobics and yoga helps to improve excretion. Some people just adjust their behavior.

It may be a drug that works better than a laxative. But if it’s not good, you need to check more.

Whether the patient is suitable to remove the entire bowel or not. to shorten the intestines

“A person who has a sluggish bowel because the intestine looks long Until it moves to the bottom, it makes it difficult to take photos. But make sure there are no other reasons. and not a person with abnormal straining not a person who is restrained If someone who likes to hold back Even if the intestines are removed, but they cannot be flexed, they cannot be taken. Therefore, in most cases, if they do not respond to medication Whether it’s a basic laxative or a drug that is a special mechanism. Often have to check the function of the colon to see where it is abnormal. should be solved by teaching new excretion training how to excrete but if there is no problem here Only intestinal problems that do not respond to medication should consider amputation.”

for products that say fiber Take it and take a large amount. Most of them are not the only fiber. Because usually natural or powdered fiber does not have a laxative effect. Most of them increase stool mass and need to drink a lot of water. to shoot more Sometimes people who eat fiber alone don’t have bowel movements, so they often mix with stimulant laxatives.
