Long-term constipation is a serious condition that often triggers a range of health problems. In this article, we will ** some of the dangers of long-term constipation, as well as ** some options for the disease.
Dangers of long-term constipation:
1.Constipation leads to the accumulation of toxins in the intestines, affecting the health of the body, and the toxins may be reabsorbed into the bloodstream, affecting the body's normal metabolic processes, leading to physical discomfort.
2.Constipation may trigger anorectal conditions such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, etc., which can cause pain and discomfort.
3.Constipation can also lead to excessive tension in the mouth sphincter, further aggravating the symptoms of constipation.
4.Long-term constipation may also lead to some intestinal diseases, such as intestinal obstruction, rectal cancer, etc.
* Options for long-term constipation:
1.Dietary modification: Dietary modification is the most basic method of long-term constipation. Patients should increase their intake of dietary fiber and water from food to stimulate bowel movements and increase the frequency of bowel movements. At the same time, excessive consumption of spicy, greasy, and indigestible foods should be reduced to avoid aggravating the symptoms of constipation.
2.Exercise**: Moderate exercise can promote bowel movements and increase the frequency of bowel movements. Patients can choose light exercise such as walking, jogging, yoga, etc., at least 3-4 times a week, and each exercise time is not less than 30 minutes.
3.Physics: Physics includes massage, hot compresses, etc. Massage can stimulate intestinal peristalsis and increase the frequency of bowel movements, and warm compresses can promote blood circulation and relieve the symptoms of constipation.
4.Medications: Medications are an effective way to treat long-term constipation. Commonly used medications include laxatives, intestinal probiotics, etc. Laxatives can stimulate intestinal peristalsis and increase the frequency of bowel movements, but it is important to note that long-term use of laxatives may lead to drug dependence and intestinal dysfunction. Intestinal probiotics can regulate the balance of intestinal flora and relieve the symptoms of constipation, but it is important to note that different types of probiotics may have different effects on different patients.
5.Surgery**: For patients with severe constipation, surgery may be required**. The purpose of surgery** is to remove the stricture in the intestine and restore the normal peristaltic function of the intestine.
6.Other**: In addition to the above** methods, there are some other **methods**, such as biofeedback**, psycho**, etc. Biofeedback can help patients adjust their bowel habits by detecting the contraction and relaxation of the sphincter. Psychological** can help patients relieve mental stress and relieve the symptoms of constipation.
