A person often has defecation. Constipation can appear in anyone, regardless of age and sex. If there is dry feces and constipation, a person most often experiences discomfort, and sometimes pain. Pay attention to the delay of defecation in the event that the emptying was not for two or more days.
In the event that dry stool does not pass for a long time, a crack in the gut may appear. It is best to seek the help of a specialist when changing the structure of stool and breaking the emptying process. Self-medication can be dealt with only if the appearance of dry constipation is not caused by a serious illness, which requires the intervention of a specialist.
Treatment of dry constipation
To eliminate the problem, you need to reconsider your diet. A hard, dry stool may appear due to insufficient fluid intake, or excessive use of certain medications.
It is recommended to undergo examination with a proctologist and gastroenterologist, and also pass urine and feces analysis. After diagnosis, the doctor will be able to determine the cause that caused the appearance of constipation and dry feces. To eliminate the disease, complex therapy is most often prescribed. Thus, the treatment of dry constipation will relieve the ailment, and it will not torment the patient.
The doctor most often prescribes the following drugs:
- Mebeverin, capable of eliminating spasms;
- Lactusan, which is a laxative;
- Linex, which helps normalize intestinal microflora.
In addition to drug therapy, it is recommended to revise your diet and exclude from the menu products that affect the proper functioning of the intestine. You need to eat foods rich in fiber. It is best if the doctor helps to make the right diet.
In the event that the constipation with dehydrated feces does not pass, the doctor prescribes an additional full gastroscopic examination. Thus, it will be possible to understand whether it is necessary to change the diet or prescribe additional treatment that contributes to the elimination of the underlying disease.
In order for a healthy person not to have dry stools and constipation, it is recommended to carry out prophylaxis. To do this, you should walk outdoors daily so that the intestine can function easily. Also, do not forget about sufficient fluid intake. Water or juices will help soften the stool, thereby allowing the defecation to normalize.
