Patient's question:
I have been constipated for half a month. The feeling of not being able to poop is very painful. I want to ask the doctor a few times, what is the reason for being constipated for half a month?Doctor's answer:
Long-term constipation may be related to your intestinal motility function increasing or having stomach issues, etc. In this case, it is recommended that you first take laxative medications such as lactulose, aloe capsules, and laxative pills. If oral medication is not effective, you can also use suppositories like glycerin suppositories or undergo enemas to treat constipation. Additionally, it is advisable to have a colonoscopy to check for any other intestinal problems.
