Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, for some reason, I have been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit. My stomach has been, sometimes with symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it started again. How can I solve the problem of relying on medication for bowel movements?Doctor's answer:
If dietary management is ineffective and long-term use of bowel movement drugs is necessary for treatment, it may lead to drug-dependent constipation. In this case, treatment should not only include dietary management but also pay attention to increasing physical activity. Additionally, abdominal massage and acupuncture can be used in combination to regulate gastrointestinal function. Furthermore, medications that can rebalance the gut microbiota and enhance beneficial gut bacteria to restore absorption function can be utilized.
