Drinking warm water often can also relieve constipation. If constipation patients drink a lot of warm water, it can soften the feces, increase the volume of feces and lubricate the intestines.

People with constipation can drink various liquids to relieve constipation, but it is best to choose warm water, because warm water has less stimulation to gastrointestinal tract.

For some patients with long-term constipation, it is recommended to drink water at least four times a day, preferably at 9 ~ 10 and 3 ~ 4 pm and before going to bed. Drinking water at these time points will be better for relieving constipation. However, patients with severe constipation should take medication to avoid complications caused by long-term constipation.
