Constipation patients need to adopt comprehensive treatment according to the severity, cause and type of constipation, including general lifestyle treatment, drug treatment, biological feedback training and surgical treatment to restore normal defecation physiology.

During treatment, attention should be paid to clearing excess feces in the distal rectum; the mentality needs to be actively adjusted, which are all extremely important for obtaining effective treatment.

2. Drug treatment

(1) Volumetric laxatives: mainly include soluble fiber (pectin, psyllium, oat bran, etc.) and insoluble fiber (plant fiber, lignin, etc.). Volumetric laxatives are slow to take effect but have few side effects and are safe, so they have a good effect on pregnancy constipation or mild constipation, but are not suitable as a rapid laxative treatment for temporary constipation.

(2) Lubricating laxatives: They can lubricate the intestinal wall, soften the stool, and make it easier to excrete. They are easy to use, such as enema, mineral oil, or liquid paraffin.

(3) Salt laxatives: such as magnesium sulfate and magnesium emulsion. These drugs can cause serious adverse reactions and should be used with caution in clinical practice.
