What to do if women have constipation

When it comes to constipation, many people find it difficult to talk about it. Although it is common, it is a disease involving private parts after all, so many people suffering from constipation are still quite shy. Constipation is common among ordinary people, but many people usually have a lot of daily life and diet, so constipation usually does not occur. However, many people's diet and daily life are not regular, so many of these people will have symptoms of constipation, and women are no exception. So, what should girls do if they are constipated?

Constipation among girls is actually very common, and many girls often experience symptoms of constipation. There are generally not many symptoms caused by constipation in girls, usually just a bad complexion and difficulty going to the toilet. So, in response to this problem, let’s talk in detail about how to deal with constipation in girls. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

Constipation is a common complex symptom in clinical practice, rather than a disease. It mainly refers to reduced frequency of bowel movements, reduced stool volume, dry stool, and difficulty in defecation. The presence of constipation must be determined based on the characteristics of the stool, the individual's usual bowel habits, and whether or not there is difficulty with defecation. If it lasts for more than 6 months, it is considered chronic constipation.

Steps/Methods

1. Sweet potato porridge: 50 grams of sweet potato, 50 grams of millet. ① Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into small pieces one inch long and five centimeters thick. Wash the millet clean. ② Put millet and sweet potatoes into the pot, add appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer until the rice is soft and becomes porridge. Take twice a day, breakfast and dinner. Suitable for people with habitual constipation.

2. Mixed spinach: Wash 100 grams of spinach, blanch it in boiling water for about 3 minutes, remove it from the water, drain it and cut it into sections. Add sesame oil, salt and MSG as needed and mix well. Suitable for people with constipation.

3. Polygonum multiflorum and japonica rice porridge: Take 30 grams of Polygonum multiflorum, boil it in water to make a thick juice, remove the residue and add it with 100 grams of japonica rice and appropriate amount of water to make porridge, season and eat. Take twice a day. Suitable for people with constipation and insomnia.

4. Potato juice drink: Take 250 grams of fresh potatoes, wash and peel them, mash them and squeeze out the juice. Take 15 ml on an empty stomach every morning. Used to treat constipation.

5. Milk and egg drink: Peel an egg, put it into 250 ml of milk and stir well. Boil it and let it cool, then add a little honey. Take it immediately in the morning. Suitable for people with habitual constipation.

Note: Drink more water regularly. Constipation needs to be treated from the outside to the inside in order to be eliminated fundamentally.

prevention

1. Avoid eating too little or eating foods that are too refined, lack residue, and reduce stimulation to colon movement.

2. Avoid interference with bowel habits: Failure to defecate in time due to mental factors, changes in lifestyle, excessive fatigue from long-distance travel, etc. can easily cause constipation.

3. Avoid the abuse of laxatives: Abuse of laxatives will reduce the sensitivity of the intestines, form dependence on certain laxatives, and cause constipation.

4. Arrange life and work reasonably and combine work and rest. Appropriate cultural and sports activities, especially abdominal muscle training, are beneficial to improving gastrointestinal function. They are even more important for those who sit for long periods of time and do mental work with high concentration.

5. Develop good bowel habits, have regular bowel movements every day, form conditioned reflexes, and establish a good bowel movement pattern. Do not ignore the urge to defecate and have a bowel movement in time. The environment and posture for defecation should be as convenient as possible to avoid suppressing the urge to defecate and disrupting bowel habits.

6. Patients are advised to drink at least 6 glasses of 250 ml water every day, engage in moderate-intensity exercise, and develop a habit of regular bowel movements (twice a day, 15 minutes each time). The action potential activity of the colon increases after waking up and after meals, pushing feces to the distal end of the colon, so morning and after meals are the easiest times to defecate.

7. Treat anal fissures, perianal infections, adnexitis and other diseases promptly. Be cautious when using laxatives and avoid strong stimulation methods such as enema.

Through the detailed introduction in the above article, I believe everyone now has a certain understanding of the treatment methods for female constipation. The most common one is generally diet therapy. The above-mentioned diet therapy is very beneficial for improving girls’ constipation. Therefore, for women who often suffer from constipation, we must pay attention and never take medicine indiscriminately.
