Constipation is characterized by low frequency removal of faeces, and the seat is hard and dry. The main cause is insufficient fiber in the diet. Other possible causes are lack of exercise and body fluid deficit.
When to go to the doctor?
If you are constipated for more than five days, or if you have fever, abdominal cramps or bloody stool.
Indications for daily life
Eat more fruits and vegetables. Eat more high fiber foods such as soy beans, and celery. Eat more nuts, honey, sesame or peanut to lubricate the intestines. Eat more beans, potatoes, onions or radishes, which accelerates the gas to produce defecation. Drink at least eight cups of water a day. Take warm sitz baths to stimulate blood circulation and personal hygiene. Take regular exercise. Lack of movement is the main cause of constipation in older people. If you have hemorrhoids or anal fissures, treat them immediately.

Do not eat too many dairy products, meat or eggs. Do not ignore the need to defecate.
