Patient's question:
I have had constipation for over two years, and I can't go to the toilet anymore. I have been treated in a nearby hospital many times, but it doesn't work after a few weeks. I don't like spicy food very much, but is there a way to completely cure it? Do I need to take medicine?Doctor's answer:
Constipation and difficulty in passing stools are best addressed through dietary adjustments rather than medication. It is recommended to develop a habit of regular bowel movements. Avoid reading or using your phone while defecating to maintain focus on the process. Your diet should be light and include foods rich in fiber, such as fresh vegetables and fruits. Avoid spicy, greasy, and fried foods, as they can hinder bowel movement and worsen constipation symptoms.
