How to treat constipation?

Drink about 1800 to 2000ml of water every day.

Pay attention to defecation, concentrate on defecation, and don't read mobile phones or newspapers. Exercise can also promote intestinal peristalsis.

In drug therapy, the main drugs are laxatives, including lactulose and polyethylene glycol. These drugs can increase the volume of feces and help soften feces, which is very effective for patients with very dry and hard defecation. You can also take prokinetic drugs, such as mosapride and procardipine, which can promote intestinal peristalsis.

Constipation patients can also be treated by biofeedback. The symptoms belong to outlet obstructive constipation, such as poor anorectal coordination, which can help such patients. Finally, patients should pay attention to all aspects of emotional problems. Some patients will have emotional disorders due to chronic constipation, which can be treated by exercise or certain drugs.

What coarse grains does constipation eat?

A variety of coarse grains are effective in treating constipation, because coarse grains are rich in fiber, which can absorb the water in the intestine, increase the capacity of stool and promote the peristalsis of the intestine. For example, corn contains more fiber, which has diuretic and hypoglycemic effects and is more suitable for diabetics.

Buckwheat and cereal are also rich in fiber, which can absorb more water and cause a feeling of fullness in the upper abdomen, which may be suitable for some patients who want to lose weight. Coix seed and brown rice are also effective coarse grains for constipation.
