Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Is there a relationship between constipation and obesity?Doctor's answer:
Habitual constipation is basically a function of intestinal movement or the tendency for stool to become dry, which is caused by excessive liquid water refinement and insufficient daily water intake. In such cases, bananas can be helpful, as well as some yogurt. The ideal solution is to focus on foods that promote gastric function. There is a relationship between constipation and obesity, but it is not very significant. Individuals with constipation tend to have relatively more nutrient refinement, which may lead to slight weight loss. However, it is not accurate to predict constipation based on weight.
