Habitual constipation

Habitual constipation refers to long-term, chronic functional constipation, which is more common in the elderly. However, some scholars believe that habitual constipation is not limited to functional constipation, it also includes colonic constipation and rectal constipation. Therefore, people with habitual constipation should go to the hospital as soon as possible to find out the cause of constipation and treat it symptomatically. Habitual constipation is mainly caused by changes in life, diet and bowel habits, and psychological factors. If these causes are not corrected for their treatment, the treatment effect is often poor. Drug treatment is only a temporary move. Long-term dependence on laxatives will only gradually increase the degree of constipation, and life-adjusting photography is the fundamental treatment.
