Patient's question:
Dad is 54 years old this year. He had an esophageal surgery before, which caused some problems with absorption. Additionally, he has been very careful with his diet in daily life. Three months ago, he started experiencing constipation and blood in his stool again. He took Western medicine for treatment, but it didn't work. He wants to know if there are any home remedies that can cure it.Doctor's answer:
If constipation reappears with blood in the stool, it is primarily caused by constipation. The bleeding in the stool is mainly due to constipation damaging the intestinal mucosa. Therefore, in this case, treating the constipation is sufficient. When treating constipation, it is important to first focus on drinking more water and consuming more fruits and vegetables, which can soften the stool. For home remedies, it generally involves taking herbal medicines that promote bowel movement and regulate the intestines.
