4, avoid forced defecation, the elderly often have constipation, should defecate on time, when defecation is not smooth, should use drugs, not forced defecation. Because people's blood pressure tends to rise when defecating, they will faint, shock or even cerebral hemorrhage, and even be life-threatening.
