What should I do if constipation occurs? How to recuperate constipation? The following are the drugs and methods I have compiled for everyone to treat constipation. I hope they are useful to you!

Commonly used drugs for constipation 1, voluminous laxatives (bulking drugs)

Common ones are psyllium, polycarbophil, wheat bran, psyllium sennae granules, etc.

2. Osmotic laxatives

Commonly used are polyethylene glycol, lactulose and salt laxatives (magnesium sulfate);

3. Irritating laxatives

Common ones are rhubarb, senna, aloe capsules, kaisailu, etc.

4, prokinetic drugs

Common drugs such as prucalopride;

5. Probiotics

Such as Bifidobacterium triple viable tablet/capsule.

Mild constipation: a volume laxative

It is recommended that people with mild constipation use volumetric laxatives, such as psyllium, polycarbophil calcium, wheat bran and psyllium laxative granules. Volumetric laxatives are rich in cellulose or cellulose derivatives, which will swell when absorbed by water, forming a mucus mass, which will make the feces swell and soften. On the one hand, swollen feces will promote intestinal peristalsis, on the other hand, softened feces are also more conducive to discharge.

It is better to take volume laxatives on an empty stomach, and pay attention to drinking more water during taking the medicine. Because the function of the volume laxative is to absorb the water in the intestine, so that the volume of feces becomes larger and the texture becomes softer. If you don't drink enough water and the water absorbed by the feces is insufficient, the stool will still be hard and it will be difficult to arrange it, so you must pay attention to hydration.

If the volume laxative is taken in excess, it will cause abdominal distension or slight nausea. It can be relieved by adjusting the dosage, and it can also be used with probiotics to relieve the discomfort caused by the volume laxative.

Moderate constipation: osmotic laxative

Constipation has been going on for several years, but it's no use adjusting your life. If you eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, you can use osmotic laxatives, such as polyethylene glycol, lactulose and salt laxatives (magnesium sulfate). After the osmotic laxative enters the large intestine, the water in the intestine is not easily absorbed by the intestinal wall, thus retaining the water in the intestine, lubricating the intestine, softening the feces, stimulating the peristalsis of the intestine and promoting defecation.

This kind of laxative is better to eat on an empty stomach, and it is also necessary to pay attention to hydrating in order to give full play to its efficacy. Generally, osmotic laxatives take 2~3 days to take effect, and some patients eat a large amount, even after 2 hours, they can defecate, so the effective time varies from person to person and from drug to drug.

When taking a large amount of osmotic laxatives, diarrhea will occur, which can cause electrolyte disorder. The elderly and those with renal dysfunction should take them carefully. After taking lactulose, if there is no obvious abdominal distension, you can continue to take the medicine, and the symptoms of abdominal distension will be relieved slowly; If you take too much, you will feel abdominal distension obviously, so you can reduce the dosage, usually it will be relieved after 3~5 days.

For this kind of osmotic laxative, young people can stop taking it after a period of time, and they don't have to take it for life. However, for elderly patients with severe constipation (colonic constipation), if the body can't withstand surgery, or other treatments are ineffective, it is necessary to take drugs intermittently for life.

Severe constipation: combined use of multiple drugs

Constipation for many years, physical weakness, defecation once every ten days, defecation is still very difficult, and eating lactulose is not very useful, which may be caused by decreased colon tension and relaxation of intestinal smooth muscle. Simply put, it is insufficient colon motility. No strength? Pushing the food residue to move in the colon, thus causing constipation.

In addition to osmotic laxatives, this kind of patients can also use intestinal motility drugs to help intestinal peristalsis. For example, Procarbril, a commonly used medicine to promote intestinal peristalsis, can be taken before and after meals, and generally takes effect in 1~3 days. The most common side effects of this medicine are nausea, vomiting and even headache, but they are generally mild and do not need to be stopped. If you have severe diarrhea, you can reduce the amount. For example, you can reduce one tablet to half.

I would like to remind everyone here that if the effect is still not good after taking the medicine for three weeks, you should seek a doctor to reassess whether you should continue taking the medicine or change to other medicines.

Constipation conditioning method 1, abdominal breathing method

Insist on abdominal breathing. Abdominal breathing in yoga can deepen breathing, effectively massage internal organs, enhance abdominal muscle strength, speed up its operation, enhance the vitality of internal organs, discharge visceral toxins, and help effectively improve constipation.

2. Develop good habits

To prevent constipation, we should abandon bad habits, for example, some people will suppress their defecation, or read books and play mobile phones during defecation, which leads to long defecation time and excessive defecation. These are all bad habits. How long is the appropriate defecation time? Whether squatting or sitting, it is best not to exceed 5 minutes. It's incredible that people who have been defecating for a long time have stayed in the toilet for twenty or thirty minutes. What are they doing? Is this environment suitable for playing with mobile phones and smoking a cigarette? For people with constipation, it is best not to do anything while going to the toilet. If you don't want to be constipated, just concentrate on going to the bathroom.

3. Drink plenty of water every day

One of the reasons for constipation is the lack of drinking water, and the water in the food residue in the intestine is constantly absorbed, which leads to the slow peristalsis of the large intestine. Getting up in the morning to replenish water does have the effect of eliminating constipation, because the stomach is at rest at night, and drinking water before eating in the morning will make the stomach operate faster than usual, so that the water can be immediately transported to the large intestine, increasing the water content in the stool, and the soft stool can be discharged better. It is recommended to drink two cups of warm water, one cup of which is about 240cc, on an empty stomach in the morning.

4. Massage the lower abdomen

Empty urine after getting up and drink 300 ~ 500ml of cold boiled water. Stand with your feet shoulder-width, relax, put the palm of your right hand on the right lower abdomen and the palm of your left hand on the back of your right hand, massage it from the lower abdomen to the right quarter rib, push it to the left quarter rib, and then massage it down to the left lower abdomen. Massage clockwise for 30 ~ 50 times repeatedly, without excessive pressure, just gently massage. It may not be effective at first, but it will be effective after 10 as long as this method is adhered to. Insist on doing it once a day, and you can completely achieve the effect of normal defecation after 30 days. Special note: You can only massage clockwise, but never counterclockwise.

5. Eat yogurt every day

Cold drinks are more irritating to people who are sensitive to the stomach and intestines, so some people will have diarrhea after drinking them. Probiotics in yogurt are the main reason to help digestion. Probiotics will ferment cellulose in the intestines, and the generated organic acids will promote intestinal peristalsis. One cup a day can make the body absorb enough probiotics.

6. Exercise more at ordinary times

Appropriate physical labor or exercise can stimulate colon peristalsis, accelerate the propulsion of intestinal contents, and be beneficial to defecation. Therefore, when you are at home, you might as well mop the floor, do some housework, or stretch your hand and bend over and do some exercise. It not only makes the home clean and tidy, but also helps to alleviate the problem of constipation. With diet conditioning, I believe it will be smooth soon.

Five dietary misunderstandings to relieve constipation 1, eat more bananas.

Bananas can help to moisten the intestines and relieve constipation, and are also a respected food that is often used to improve constipation. It is important to know that only ripe bananas have laxative effect. If you eat immature bananas, it will not only help improve constipation, but will aggravate constipation.

2. Eat fruits and vegetables.

Everyone knows that vegetables and fruits are rich in dietary fiber and have sufficient water, which can effectively help relieve constipation. But if you eat too much, it will cause flatulence and abdominal pain. For people with poor gastrointestinal function, eating more fruits will not only be bad for defecation, but will also cause irritation to the stomach.

3, eat light and don't eat oil

Many people think that constipation is caused by eating too much fish and meat, and they turn to eating a special vegetarian diet to improve constipation. In fact, people with constipation need to eat more oil, especially sesame oil, which can effectively help improve constipation, because oil has a lubricating effect.

4. Drink a lot of tea

Many people think that drinking tea can help? Clear fire? , it will certainly play a role in improving constipation. In fact, constipation is not suitable for drinking more tea. Because tea has astringent effect, drinking too much will aggravate constipation. It is recommended to drink plenty of water.

5. Don't eat meat

Some people think that not eating meat can help relieve constipation. In fact, not eating meat will aggravate constipation. This is because the gastrointestinal movement also needs power, and a normal diet is the basic power to ensure its normal operation, otherwise it is difficult for the waste in the body to be excreted.
