Therefore, eating more cellulose-rich vegetables such as coarse grains, kelp, celery, pumpkin, spinach, cucumber and carrots can treat constipation. (2) Runchang therapy: raw fruits such as melons, apples, bananas, tomatoes, pears, persimmons, etc. , containing a lot of gum, can play a very good role in relaxing bowels.

Abdominal massage should be done clockwise, that is, massage in circles along the direction of the large intestine. During this period, you can massage the right Daheng point (four inches on the right umbilicus), Zhongwan point (four inches above umbilicus) and left Daheng point (four inches on the left umbilicus) simultaneously. 5, Qigong therapy: first empty the urine, take a normal posture, naturally relax the whole body, slightly close the mouth, extend the tongue to the upper jaw, sniff the nose, and breathe evenly. When inhaling, the heart will force the feces in the intestine to be discharged. At this point, to relax the anus, you must not hold your breath hard. After a while, you can force your heart to excrete feces. 6, biological clock therapy: generally speaking, people's daily diet, excretion, sleep have certain rules, the habit of developing regular defecation is established through conditioned reflex and human biological clock, the elderly should develop a good habit of regular defecation once a day. In addition, in daily life, the elderly should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest.

Precautions for defecation 1. Cut nails before defecation, and wear plastic film gloves or soft medical plastic gloves when defecating. 2. The old man lies on his side, and his back is supported by a cushion or blanket to maintain stability. Put plastic sheets and adult diapers below the waist, and cover the upward legs with towels. 3. Touch around the anus with your hand. If there is a lump, you can be sure that the stool has fallen into the anus. If the stool does not fall to the anus, ask the elderly to exert pressure or hold back the strength of the abdomen to make the stool fall. 4. Apply vaseline around the fingertips and anus and gently massage the anus several times to relax the anal muscles of the elderly. If possible, be sure to let the old man take two deep breaths, and when the old man exhales, insert his finger into the anus to pull out the stool. After the induration is removed, the patient can relieve himself. 5. Pay attention to defecation: the movement should be gentle to avoid damaging the intestinal mucosa, and the defecation equipment should be prohibited. During the operation, the elderly should stop immediately when they appear pale, sweaty and exhausted. After defecation, wash around the anus with warm water, preferably with a hot towel, and then dry the water with a dry towel. Take part in proper physical exercise, cultivate good defecation habits, eat reasonably, and pay attention to supplementing dietary fiber. Dietary fiber is very important for changing the nature of feces and defecation habits. Fiber itself is not absorbed, which can make feces swell and stimulate colon movement. This may be more effective for constipation patients with less dietary fiber intake. The foods with the most dietary fiber are wheat bran, fruits and vegetables, oats, corn and soybean pectin. If there is fecal impaction, the feces should be discharged first, and then dietary fiber should be supplemented.
