Past treatment and effectiveness: Chinese medicine was not effective, but improvement occurred after warm heat and defecation. What help is desired: What is the cause, and how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
The above situation is a manifestation of intestinal dysfunction, primarily related to diet and lifestyle. It is recommended that you take some medications such as Yuanhu Zhizhong Pian, Changyanning Pian, and Sanhuang Pian to see if they improve. If there is still no improvement, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Additionally, avoid eating sour, spicy, or irritating foods, refrain from alcohol, and maintain regular bowel movements. Have you had any abdominal surgery? Does your stool usually contain blood or mucus?
