Dr. Cheng Yicheng
Patients with constipation usually experience symptoms such as abdominal distension and loss of appetite. The main manifestations of constipation include significant bloating, often accompanied by a sensation of rectal fullness or pressure, which is closely related to stool accumulation and gastrointestinal motility. If dietary habits are neglected in daily life, leading to excessively hard stools, straining during bowel movements may cause rectal bleeding. Over time, this can disrupt blood circulation in the anal region, eventually resulting in hemorrhoids.
