In reality, when it comes to constipation, many people's first reaction is "use Kaiselu!"

Because Kaiselu has direct effects, it can be said to be immediate. Therefore, it has become the drug of choice for many people after constipation.

So the question is, can Kaisellu be used when constipation occurs? Will long-term use cause dependence?

Currently, there are two common preparations of kaiselu on the market: one is a glycerin preparation, and the other is a sorbitol and magnesium sulfate preparation.

The ingredients of the two preparations are different, but the principle is basically the same:

Use the high concentration of glycerol or sorbitol (ie hypertonic effect) to soften the stool and stimulate the intestinal wall, reflexively causing The defecation response, coupled with its lubricating effect, makes stool easy to pass.

The characteristics of Kaiselu determine that it can only be used "occasionally" or in "emergency" situations.

For example, for some patients who develop fecal impaction after surgery, the use of Kaisellu is a common medical method when fecal impaction occurs.

But even so, Kaiselu is not recommended for regular use as a daily laxative.

The reason is simple: Kaiselu has a very strong stimulating effect on the intestines.

Use it if you have difficulty defecation, but it will aggravate the symptoms of constipation.

This is because the Ketulu squeezed into the anus helps defecation by stimulating the intestinal wall and triggering a defecation reflex. If used regularly, the more times the rectum is stimulated, the less sensitive it will be.

Once you get used to the drug effects of Kaiselu, your rectum will no longer react. Especially for those patients who have dry and small stools, long-term dependence on Kaiselu will make defecation more difficult.

Therefore, Kaiselu can only be used when it is extremely painful to hold excrement in the anus.

It is also because of this reason that many people use Kaiselu for laxatives for a long time and become "dependent".

Due to the reduced sensitivity of the rectum, it is difficult to defecate voluntarily, and the following situation will occur:

A strong urge to defecate, but just cannot pass out. It can be discharged only after using Kaiselu, but it cannot be discharged without using it. This habit of refusing to defecate without strong stimulation has formed.

This is the "dependence" caused by long-term use of Kaiselu.

Therefore, we do not recommend that patients with constipation use Kaiselu to relieve constipation when they have nothing to do.

If constipation does exist, there are many causes of constipation, and not every kind of constipation is suitable for Kaiselu. Only symptomatic treatment can completely relieve the problem of difficulty in defecation.
