Patient's question:
I haven't been able to poop for about a month. I always can't pass stool, and when I do, it's only a very small amount. The stool is very hard, and it's extremely difficult to defecate. What is the most effective medicine for treating constipation?Doctor's answer:
The key to this long-term condition is the poor daily habits. There are no good medications to treat it. Daily diet should not be too little, meals should be regular, avoid overeating, and do not eat overly refined or fine food. The fiber and moisture in food should be sufficient. Use more foods that promote bowel movement, such as honey, sesame, and yogurt, to make the stool softer and facilitate metabolism. Eat meals on time and avoid spicy, irritating foods and excessive alcohol consumption.
