Patient's question:
Recently, I haven't paid much attention to my diet, which has led to constipation. Every time I go to the bathroom, it's very difficult. This symptom has lasted for several days. I want to know what would happen if I don't take medicine or seek treatment and still strain too hard when using the restroom?Doctor's answer:
It is not right to not see a doctor when suffering from constipation. During defecation, the dry and hard stool can cause the anus to tear or rupture, and it is also very easy to develop hemorrhoids. If the constipation is not too long-lasting, you can pay more attention to your diet, avoid eating greasy foods, and if it improves, you may not need to see a doctor. If it is still the same, you should go to the hospital quickly for follow-up. Otherwise, the condition may worsen. Additionally, you should eat foods rich in dietary fiber.
