Doctor's answer:

Every day, practice appropriate exercise and develop the habit of having regular bowel movements at the same time. Even if you don't feel the urge, go to the bathroom on schedule to gradually establish a conditioned reflex. Some people with constipation can achieve regular self-stimulation bowel movements after undergoing such special training.
In terms of diet, it's recommended to frequently consume coarse grains, mixed grains, and plenty of vegetables and fruits rich in fiber. Drinking a glass of cool, plain water on an empty stomach every morning can also help with bowel movements.
Advice: It is suggested that you can use a glycerin suppository for constipation relief.
