Constipation has become one of the most common issues, originating from reasons like poor diet, unhealthy lifestyle, dehydration and certain medications. Those suffering from constipation often consider it their worst health ailments, as it brings forth headaches, bloating and nausea. Dr Abhai Verma, director of the gastroenterology department of Medanta Hospital, Lucknow, told News18 about the solutions to overcome this health issue.
1. Consult an expert – A gastroenterology expert can suggest the patients the tips and in case of chronic constipation, the medicines to overcome them. In many cases, the patients may not be aware of these things, and thus should not be hesitant to take medical advice.
2. Drinking 3-4 liters of water daily- Consuming 3-4 liters of water regularly can help in proper bowel movements, prevent constipation, and support overall gastrointestinal health. Abundant hydration helps the body eliminate waste products properly and aids in maintaining the balance of essential bodily functions.
3. Adding vegetables- Including veggies in the diet can also significantly alter the course of a constipated stomach. As per WebMD, people should aim to eat 2 cups of fruit and 2 1/2 cups of vegetables every day.
4. Exercise- Getting up and moving can also help ease the constipation. Regular walking — even a couple of minutes several times a day — can help the digestive system work at its best. Fit people might choose aerobic exercise: running, jogging, swimming, or dancing.
5. Consult a doctor in case of rectal bleeding- Rectal bleeding or bleeding from anus is a symptom of many different conditions, including hemorrhoids, anal fissures. These conditions also include inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer. You may notice rectal bleeding on your toilet paper when you wipe or when you see blood in your stool. In this case, the people should immediately consult a doctor and procure treatment.
Besides these methods, homemade measures can also be relied upon to get relief from constipation. The affected should eat Ginger or consume Triphala, Ghee and milk, Senna tea and Lemon water. These Ayurvedic Natural elements are not a full-proof solution.
