Differential diagnosis

Some people think that constipation is dry stool, which is completely wrong. Because the stool stays in the intestines for too long, the number of stools is reduced. Therefore, constipation mainly refers to difficulty in defecation, and there is no limit to constipation. It must be dry stool. In general, constipation patients often have dry stools, but there are also a few people who have not had a bowel movement for a few days, but the stool does not dry up, but defecation is very difficult, such patients should also belong to the category of constipation. The simple stool drying is smooth, and the number of bowel movements has not changed. It belongs to normal bowel movements and should not be regarded as constipation. Specifically, constipation has the following four situations:

1. The stool is too dry and hard, the number of bowel movements is reduced, and the discharge is difficult or incomplete.

2. The stool does not dry, but always has a bowel movement, often with a sense of residualness after the stool.

3. You can't immediately poop on the toilet, but you have to wait a few minutes or even ten minutes to get it down.

4. There is often a frequent feeling of defecation, but only a small amount of mucus is discharged every time, that is, the hot junction of Chinese medicine is often mistaken for diarrhea, and antibiotics or antidiarrheal drugs are used constantly. The result is more and more severe.
