Answered by Specialist Doctor I Vu Huy Hien - Department of Gastroenterology - Endoscopy, Vinmec Times City International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “How to treat constipation for a long time? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Constipation is an infrequent bowel movement or difficulty in passing stools that lasts for several weeks or longer.
Treatment of persistent constipation :
Increase fiber. Increase exercise such as cycling, jogging, qigong, yoga, .... Practice going to the bathroom once a day in the morning after eating. In case you have improved a lot without any symptoms, you should go to the hospital for a colonoscopy to evaluate, the doctor will have a specific treatment direction for you.
If you still have questions about long-term constipation, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
