Patient's question:
Lately for the past one or two months, I've been having difficulty defecating, with pellet-like stools. After using glycerin suppositories or soap, I can pass stool, but then it's difficult again the next time. I drink a lot of water and eat vegetables, but the situation hasn't improved. What could be the reason?Previous Treatment and Effects: Took some Western medicine.
Help Needed: How can I regulate my bowel movements?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, this situation is due to excess heat in the large intestine. It is recommended to focus on drinking more water and vegetable broth, while also massaging the child's abdomen daily to promote intestinal movement. You can give the child some yogurt or take Amebiasis Granules to regulate the intestinal flora. When introducing complementary foods recently, avoid high-calorie and high-protein foods, such as egg custard, and do not consume too much. Do not make the milk formula too thick. It is best to avoid using suppositories or soap water to help with bowel movements, as this may cause the child to develop a fear of defecation, which can also be a reason for constipation. Proper diet is the main method of prevention.
