Western medicine treatment
Irritating laxatives
This kind of laxatives and their metabolites directly stimulate the intestinal wall, strengthen intestinal peristalsis, and thus promote fecal excretion. If the guide, castor oil, rhubarb, etc. This kind of laxative is the most commonly taken medicine by constipation patients. If it is used for a long time, it can cause the side effect of reducing intestinal stress, so it is not suitable for common use.
Dilution laxative
Also known as volume laxatives. This kind of laxative can prevent the intestinal tract from absorbing water and increase the intestinal internal volume. At the same time, they are difficult to be absorbed after oral administration, which can form a high osmotic pressure in the intestine and increase the water content and chyme capacity. Because of the large capacity, the intestine is expanded, which mechanically stimulates the intestine, causing intestinal peristalsis to increase and defecate. Such laxatives include magnesium sulfate and sodium sulfate (mirabilite).
Lubricating laxative
Such as liquid paraffin, edible oil, etc. This kind of laxative can lubricate the intestinal wall, soften the stool, and make the stool easy to be discharged. Liquid paraffin is not absorbed after oral administration or enema, and it can hinder the absorption of water in the intestine. As an ideal laxative, it has the phenomenon of oil stains polluting underwear, and long-term application can interfere with the absorption of vitamins A, D, K, calcium and phosphorus.
The above laxatives can be selected and applied according to the action time. Dilute laxatives have a quick action time, and can excrete watery feces in 4-6 hours after taking them, often accompanied by abdominal pain. They are mainly used for acute constipation and intractable constipation, and should not be used for a long time. Drink plenty of boiled water after taking the medicine. Irritant laxatives have a slow effect, so they should be taken before going to bed and defecate 6-8 hours after taking them. Lubricating laxatives are suitable for the elderly and infirm. Liquid paraffin should be taken 10-20 ml every night before going to bed and get up to defecate the next morning, which is beneficial to develop conditioned reflex of regular defecation.
