Patient's question:
My grandfather hasn't been able to eat or defecate for the past few days. I'm really worried. If this elderly person experiences chronic constipation again, what kind of medicine is generally recommended?Doctor's answer:
When elderly people suffer from chronic constipation, there are many commonly used drugs in clinical diagnosis. Therefore, it is recommended that patients still go to the hospital to get medication and be cautious about buying drugs. These medications can not only stabilize the condition of chronic constipation but also regulate intestinal function. Additionally, in terms of diet, it is advisable to consume more foods rich in dietary fiber and drink plenty of water to aid in bowel movements. Furthermore, it is beneficial to develop the habit of defecating at regular times.
