Patient's question:

I have always had constipation, but after giving birth to my child, I developed severe constipation. Later, taking Chinese medicine helped me relieve it. However, in October 2014, I experienced constipation again, and medication helped me relieve it. Now, I still have constipation and find it difficult to go.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there are many reasons that can cause constipation, such as: lack of exercise, insufficient diet, insufficient water intake, irregular sleep patterns, poor gastrointestinal motility, and so on. You can appropriately improve your lifestyle, or you can also take some medication appropriately.
