Patient's question:
Please ask the doctor to recommend several medications suitable for patients with facial paralysis to treat constipation.Doctor's answer:
For constipation, the common approach is to take laxatives. However, there is an art to taking laxatives. Randomly or excessively consuming like Tongbianling, Aloe Capsules, or Changqing Cha not only causes abdominal pain but can also lead to addiction if used long-term, resulting in constipation even when the laxatives are stopped. Additionally, these drugs can stimulate the large intestine, causing melanosis coli (darkening of the colon). They may also damage the nerves and muscle tissue of the intestinal wall, leading to polyps and increasing the risk of colorectal cancer.To (treat effectively), it takes a relatively longer time but requires perseverance. Improvement of the intestinal environment can be used as a method. Using Golden Bifidus Factor to proliferate intestinal bifidobacteria and achieve balance in the intestinal microenvironment is one such approach. This method typically takes at least one to two months, but it may take up to a year or more.
