Constipation can be divided into slow transit type and outlet obstruction type. Slow transit type is due to the weakening of intestinal contraction movement, which is characterized by less defecation times and hard feces. It is more common in patients with diabetes and other diseases. The outlet obstruction type is caused by the uncoordinated muscles of the abdomen, anorectum and the bottom of the pelvis, which leads to the obstruction of fecal discharge. It is characterized by laborious defecation, incomplete feeling and soft feces. It is common in the elderly. This patient is a slow transit constipation, and should be treated with drugs that strengthen gastrointestinal motility. His long-term use of kaiselou will not only aggravate constipation, but also increase the risk of myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and other diseases.
