Features: Constipation, though not a serious illness, can cause immense suffering. Everyone has likely struggled with it at some point. You probably know that when asked about constipation, almost anyone will suggest "some method that works very well." Among these, please choose a method you can implement and one you can stick with, and try it. The key is not to force it but to naturally incorporate it into your daily life and make it a habit, which will yield good results. This book is one in the "Illustrated Self-Treatment for Common Illnesses" series, a collaboration between our publishing house and Tokyo Shogakkan. It discusses how to treat the embarrassing "exit" problem—constipation—that most people encounter to some degree in their lives. As an authority, the author explains the causes, types, dangers, and treatments of constipation in simple language. What makes this book particularly appealing is its proposal and validation of 45 self-treatment methods for constipation, all of which patients can try. These methods can be summarized into three major categories: maintaining a normal lifestyle and routine; focusing on adequate water and fiber intake in your diet; and using medication correctly. As for how to self-treat and whether alternative methods carry risks—turning the pages will tell you, so let the reader judge for themselves.
