Patient's question:
Doctor, my elderly person suffers from diabetes and coronary heart disease, and their condition has always been maintained through medication. However, the elderly person has now experienced severe constipation again. Hello, Doctor, what should we do? Can people with illnesses consume bowel movement tea? What should the elderly person do?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients should pay attention to proper diet in daily life and avoid consuming sugar. They should eat more fresh vegetables, which can help alleviate constipation symptoms. Coronary heart disease may be caused by high blood sugar. It is important to rest and avoid overexertion, as well as to minimize excessive stimulation to prevent fainting, rapid heartbeat, and shortness of breath. If constipation occurs, appropriate bowel-moistening tea can be used, but it should not be taken in excessive amounts.
