Habitual constipation refers to long-term and chronic functional constipation, which mostly occurs in the elderly. The cause of habitual constipation is still functional gastrointestinal disorder, that is, no physical lesions can be found, which is mostly caused by tension, stress, gastrointestinal peristalsis disorder or poor defecation, forming a vicious circle and leading to habitual constipation.
Habitual constipation is also called functional constipation. Habitual constipation is common in primary intestinal peristalsis, delayed defecation or congenital megacolon. There are other reasons:
1. Poor diet: such as rice flour is too fine, food intake is too small, vegetables, fruits and grains containing crude fiber, especially indigestible fiber, too little oil, and insufficient drinking water.
2. Bad defecation habits: defecation is not timely when there is defecation, which inhibits defecation. I am used to reading when defecating, and I don't take the initiative to defecate. Defecation depends on laxatives or abuse laxatives to reduce the sensitivity of intestinal excretion.
3. Irregular daily life, irregular daily defecation, lack of sleep or long sleep time. Long-distance travel or busy work (such as flight attendants) did not develop the habit of defecation on time.
Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has understood the causes of habitual constipation. In order to prevent constipation, I suggest you pay attention to prevention. In normal times, they should eat more foods with high fiber content, which can promote the formation of feces. Besides, they should pay more attention to drinking water. Only when there is enough water in the body will constipation not be induced.
