Patient's question:
I haven't had a bowel movement for several days. A few days ago, I only had a little bit, but I couldn't push it out even though I wanted to. I have a lot of gas but no bowel movement. I've been drinking tea water, but it hasn't helped at all. Is it because I've been eating rice these past few days? Does rice cause constipation? I haven't been treated for it. Is there any method that can help me have a bowel movement every day?Doctor's answer:
Constipation is often caused by factors such as dietary habits and physical activity. Based on the symptoms you described, it may be due to consuming too much rice daily. It is recommended to increase the intake of roughage by eating more fresh vegetables and fruits. If necessary, you can take laxative medications such as aloe vera capsules, but do not develop a dislike for medications. The above advice is for the question "I haven't had a bowel movement for several days, what should I do?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
