Patient's question:
My friend often suffers from constipation and cannot have a bowel movement. It takes three or four days for them to finally go, and the stool is very dry, blocking the rectum. The pain is severe, and sometimes it even causes the skin to break. They have tried many methods without relief. What can they eat to alleviate chronic constipation and difficulty having a bowel movement?Doctor's answer:
Constipation is related to diet. It is recommended to adjust your diet, avoiding spicy, greasy, and fried foods. Eat more vegetables and drink plenty of water; and develop the habit of defecating every day. Whether you feel the urge to defecate or not, make sure to use the toilet on time. The most important thing about constipation is the problem of defecation habits and lifestyle. Eat more vegetables rich in vitamins, bananas, and drink a glass of cool water on an empty stomach every morning in the early morning.
