Why haven't you had a bowel movement for days?

Constipation is the most common disease in daily life. At this time, people are always looking for various treatments for constipation, but ignore the causes of constipation. What are the causes of constipation in life? Only by finding the culprit of constipation can we solve the problem of constipation fundamentally. Recently, more and more people are suffering from constipation. The incidence of constipation is higher than that of hemorrhoids. So what causes constipation? Experts from our hospital pointed out that constipation is mostly caused by heat generation, qi deficiency, and insufficient yin and blood in the body. There are four specific reasons:

1. Spleen and kidney deficiency and coldness:

Elderly people who have been ill for a long time all have kidney yang deficiency and poor circulation of yang energy. A slight exposure to cold will lead to spleen and kidney yang deficiency, cold stagnation and qi stagnation, intestinal weakness, and difficulty in defecation. The constipation caused is cold constipation.

2. Insufficient body fluids:

People with weak constitution and deficiency of both Qi and blood have internal damage to the spleen and stomach. In addition, they drink less water, and their large intestine is unable to move. The blood deficiency and fluid deficiency cause the large intestine to be dehydrated and nourished, resulting in dry intestines and hard stools, which is called constipation.

3. Internal accumulation of dryness and heat:

Eating too spicy and stimulating food, consuming too much greasy food, and taking too many warm tonic products can cause the yang to be excessive and the yin to be burned, which can damage the body fluids in the stomach and intestines, causing dryness and heat in the intestines, damage to the body fluids and cause constipation. This type of constipation is also called heat constipation.

4. Qi stagnation:

People who are depressed, sit for long periods of time and do not move much, and are in a bad mood often have stagnant Qi, slow transmission in the large intestine, and retention of waste inside the body, resulting in constipation, which is called Qi constipation.
