Patient's question:
I had constipation for two weeks a few weeks ago. For several days, I didn't have a bowel movement, and each time I did, it was really uncomfortable. I was afraid of getting constipated again. How can I prevent constipation at work?Doctor's answer:
If you sit for a long time without moving, it can interfere with our digestive system. In daily life, we should engage in more activities, such as running, ice skating, hiking, and others, which can help improve intestinal movement and help us eliminate waste from the body. When having dinner, it's important to chew slowly and thoroughly, not to gulp it down quickly. This can prevent food from piling up in the body and becoming difficult to absorb, which in turn interferes with the replenishment system and may lead to poor nutrition and constipation.
