Can probiotics cure constipation?

Probiotics are helpful in the treatment of constipation.

Constipation refers to dry and hard stools, less than 3 times a week, generally related to unreasonable diet, indigestion and other factors. Probiotics can improve intestinal function by supplementing or regulating the number and type of probiotics in the intestine, maintaining the balance of intestinal flora, and helping to promote food digestion and absorption. However, if constipation is severe, taking probiotics alone may not improve constipation.

Patients should maintain a diversified diet, eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains and other foods rich in dietary fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal motility and reduce constipation symptoms.
