What should I do about stomach bloating and constipation?

Patient's question:

I am 22 years old this year, and my stomach has never been very good. I always feel bloated and indigestion, with my stomach bulging after eating. Besides constipation, I don't have stomach pain or nausea, but sometimes I feel nauseous after eating.

Doctor's answer:

Eat more coarse grains and vegetables, drink plenty of water, etc. For severe constipation, if the above measures are ineffective, laxatives can be used under appropriate circumstances. Methods such as applying glycerin suppositories or using an enema can also be adopted to promote bowel movements. However, it is important to avoid overusing laxatives or enemas to prevent intestinal muscle atrophy.
When patients face the harm of stomach bloating, we should actively implement thorough examinations and treatments, avoiding hesitation to seek medical attention. If stomach bloating persists despite treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
