Patient's question:
Problem Description: The stool has been very dry, and the defecated stool is like beans, very dry. After drinking a while of intestines and bowels soothing tea, it improved, but without drinking intestines and bowels soothing tea, it constipates.Doctor's answer:
Constipation is primarily a problem related to bowel habits and lifestyle. It is essential to avoid spicy foods. Maintain smooth and soft stools, develop a regular bowel movement habit, and consume more vegetables, bananas, sweet potatoes, and honey daily. Drinking plenty of water will help improve it. For severe constipation, oral medication such as Mahen pills or Sìmó Tāng oral liquid can be taken. Additionally, you can use a suppository like Kāisèlù, inserted into the rectum to soften the stool and promote bowel movement. However, the action must be gentle to prevent intestinal injury. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
