Constipation is a problem that many people will encounter in their lives, but everyone feels that it is not too serious, so it is not treated in time. The phenomenon of constipation should not be careless, because if constipation is not effectively treated for a long time, it may induce other anorectal diseases, such as anal fissure, hemorrhoids and colon cancer, which has a great relationship with constipation. The elderly are also a high-risk group of constipation. After the elderly get constipation, they can go to the hospital for relevant examination. After the cause is diagnosed, they can be treated symptomatically under the guidance of a doctor, which can effectively alleviate the constipation problem.
