Dr. Cheng Yicheng
Difficulty in defecation may be caused by several factors: 1. It could be due to gastrointestinal dysfunction. 2. It might also result from constipation. Prolonged sitting or standing can slow down intestinal motility, leading to constipation. Therefore, abdominal massage may help relieve the symptoms. Appropriate physical exercise, such as running, hiking, or playing ball games, can also be beneficial for alleviating this condition.
