Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing severe pain due to constipation. Every time I go to the bathroom, I can't go. Sometimes I also have stomach pain, and I don't have much appetite. I'm wondering if I can take Niuhuang Jiedu Pian. Hello, can constipation be treated with Niuhuang Jiedu Pian?Doctor's answer:
First, it is necessary to carefully check the cause of constipation. If it is caused by stomach issues, you can take it because the "Huang Lao Jie Pian" () itself has a certain toxicity, and taking it casually can be harmful to your health. You can try taking "Feng Chi Long Hui Jiao Nang" () or "Ma Ren Run Chang Wan" (), as both are traditional Chinese medicines for treating constipation. Additionally, the "Huang Lao Jie Pian" () is relatively cold in nature, so it is best not to take it casually for normal people.
