Patient's question:
Doctor, I want to ask you a question. My brother often finds it not very convenient to go to the toilet, and it's not very smooth either. Recently, he had a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it's constipation due to irritable bowel syndrome. We don't know what's going on. Doctor, what should we do about constipation caused by irritable bowel syndrome?Doctor's answer:
People with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and constipation should eat more vegetables, fruits, bananas, apples, chives, celery, and similar foods in their daily diet. Engaging in regular physical activity can promote intestinal motility, which helps with bowel movements. Additionally, maintaining a regular eating schedule is important to avoid excessively hot, salty, or spicy foods. It is recommended to consult a doctor, as traditional Chinese medicine can be used to regulate the condition. Specific treatment should be based on a differential diagnosis. Generally, Mahen capsules can be taken, but it is essential to follow the doctor's advice.
