Lower back pain and constipation, what's going on?

Patient's question:

My friend has had constipation for many years. I vaguely remember that even as a child, it was difficult for him to have a bowel movement. He has drunk a lot of honey water, but it's still the same now. A little bit hasn't helped, and it seems to have even worsened. Most people get stomach pain during their period, but my friend also gets stomach pain when he goes to the bathroom. He doesn't know what to do anymore. What should he do if constipation interferes with his back pain?

Doctor's answer:

Normal people defecate every day. If your condition is confirmed as constipation and you cannot pass stool, it indicates that the constipation is quite severe. It is recommended to actively take medication for treatment. Oral laxatives can be used for treatment. At the same time, changes in lifestyle and dietary habits should be made. It is suggested that you consider doing more exercise regularly, avoid sitting for long periods, and pay attention to eating more vegetables and fruits.
