Constipation in the elderly is actually caused by the decline of visceral function. This constipation usually includes gastritis, hepatosplenomegaly and colitis. Gastritis and hepatosplenomegaly will press the colon, increase the burden of colon peristalsis and emptying, and lead to colitis. These three factors squeeze the blood vessels in abdominal cavity, so that the stomach and liver can not get enough blood supply, weaken the peristalsis function of gastrointestinal tract and hinder the smooth excretion of feces. If your stool is dry, it is more difficult to defecate. Sini powder and Danggui Shaoyao powder are more suitable for constipation.

If the stool is dry and hot, you often use Dachaihu decoction to reduce the fever first, and then use Sini powder and Danggui Shaoyao powder. If the stool is dry and there is no heat, you can often defecate with Sinisan and Maziren Pills, or you can defecate with Sinisan and Danggui Shaoyao Powder until the stool is smooth. It is best to use ideas in combination. The specific method is to relax and stand and concentrate on feeling the colon. If you concentrate, you will soon feel angry. If you concentrate for 30 to an hour before defecation in the morning, it is easy to defecate.

This psychological method is more effective than medicine. What causes long-term constipation? Generally speaking, this is related to the lack of exercise for the elderly. When people reach a certain age, the amount of activity decreases with the decline of sports ability. In particular, some elderly people with inconvenient legs and feet sit or lie in bed for almost a long time. Once people lack proper exercise, it will easily lead to insufficient intestinal movement and slow intestinal peristalsis, which will lead to long-term constipation. In addition, some elderly people suffer from chronic basic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes or coronary heart disease and need to take medicine for a long time.

These drugs can also cause constipation to some extent. What good method is there to solve long-term constipation? For the elderly with mobility difficulties, it is suggested to start with the daily diet structure. Usually you can drink more honey water or light salt water and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition, you can eat nuts and yogurt after meals. These foods are rich in dietary fiber, which helps to promote defecation and improve constipation. In addition, you can also let your family massage your abdomen in the morning and evening, and massage clockwise 10 minutes. It also helps to enhance intestinal movement and relieve constipation.
