Constipation is more common in the elderly and can be divided into colonic constipation and rectal constipation. Most elderly people have imperfect teeth and like to eat a fine diet with low residue, so they lack the stimulation of cellulose on the intestinal wall and prolong the time for the colon to move feces; In addition, the elderly exercise less, and the contractility of intestinal muscles generally declines, which is easy to contribute to colon constipation. Levator ani and anal sphincter in the elderly are flabby, which leads to fecal impaction in rectal fossa and constipation in rectum. Perianal diseases such as hemorrhoids, fistula, colon cancer and direct hernia can also cause constipation. Some iron, aluminum and calcium preparations can also cause constipation. Because of habitual constipation, patients often take laxatives for a long time, which will lead to intestinal dysfunction. To prevent constipation, we should eat more vegetables, treat perianal diseases and use laxatives appropriately. Prescription 1. Old people with constipation should eat more vegetables and fruits with high cellulose content. Vegetables contain more cellulose, such as water bamboo, leek, spinach, celery, loofah and lotus root, while fruits contain more cellulose, such as persimmons, grapes, apricots, pears, apples, bananas and tomatoes. 2. Exercise, such as walking, jogging and turning over frequently. If you do abdominal massage, you can massage from the right lower abdomen clockwise up, left and down, 2 ~ 3 times a day, 10 ~ 20 times each time, which is very effective. Constipation may be a symptom of a disease. It is necessary to treat perianal diseases such as hemorrhoids in time and be alert to colon cancer. 4. The use principle of laxatives is that all kinds of laxatives are used alternately to avoid using strong laxatives. 5. Do not use or use less drugs that are easy to cause constipation, such as codeine, iron, aluminum and calcium. Constipation means that the stool is dry, the amount of excretion is very small, and it is too dry and hard, and the interval between stools is too long, making it difficult to excrete. If it is a normal person, it takes about 24-48 hours for the ingested food to be digested and absorbed to form feces, and it will be regarded as constipation if it exceeds it. Of course, because the ingredients of food are different from the defecation habits of healthy people, there are also great differences. Defecation every 2-3 days is not necessarily constipation. Once every three days or three times a day may be normal. In addition to proper exercise, it will be more effective to treat constipation by doing more conditioning in diet.

Too much crude fiber in the diet can also cause intestinal wall spasm and constipation. Mechanically, some intestines are blocked by tumors, or in the case of intestinal obstruction, the operation of intestinal contents is blocked, leading to constipation. Because the diet is too fine, it lacks dietary fiber for a long time, and the food residue does not stimulate the intestinal mucosa enough to produce defecation; It can also affect defecation due to old age, weakness and chronic wasting diseases.

If necessary, some agar can be added to make the intestinal contents swell and increase by its water absorption, thus promoting intestinal peristalsis and facilitating defecation. 2. Correct bad eating habits, use foods containing vitamin B such as coarse grains and beans, and supplement tablets containing vitamin B 1 when necessary. Because if vitamin B 1 is insufficient in the body, it can affect nerve conduction and slow down gastrointestinal peristalsis, which is not conducive to the digestion, absorption and excretion of food. 3, multi-purpose gas-producing foods: such as raw onions, onions, raw cucumbers, raw kohlrabi, raw radishes and so on. Use them to ferment in the intestines to produce swollen intestines to increase intestinal peristalsis and facilitate defecation. 4, drink plenty of water and drinks, drink 200-500 ml of water on an empty stomach every morning, especially warm and light salt water, the effect is better. 5, the intake of appropriate value-added side can promote the smooth stool.
