Patient's question:
These past few days, at night, my intestines have been making a lot of noise, but during the day, I don't have the urge to defecate. Should I take some medicine for this? In the past, I often experienced situations where I couldn't defecate for about two days.Doctor's answer:
Borborygmi are caused by dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract, and this condition is more common in women. For your current situation, it is recommended to exercise more to enhance the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, while also paying attention to abdominal warmth and dietary hygiene, as well as regular eating habits. Avoid consuming raw, cold, greasy, spicy, or other irritating foods. You can eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins and dietary fiber. If necessary, consider taking oral medications such as lactobacillus to regulate gastrointestinal function.
