Patient's question:
My friend is a public relations manager at a company. For a while, he has been dining out frequently and eating a lot of spicy food, including spicy hot pot, and as a result, he ended up having a stomachache and even developed acne on his face. Previously, my friend used to have a bowel movement once a day, but now he only goes to the bathroom every four or five days. My friend is very worried that if this chronic constipation continues, he might develop some serious illness.Doctor's answer:
It may lead to diseases such as hemorrhoids and gastrointestinal disorders. You can take Semen Persicae Pill or phenolphthalein. You can also eat nuts like walnuts and black sesame seeds. In the morning, you can soak honey in water to drink. You should eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, such as grains, vegetables, fruits, and legumes, to help digest water. Regular physical exercise is recommended to cultivate good bowel habits and avoid spicy and greasy foods.
