What happened to sudden constipation?

Sudden constipation may be caused by a variety of reasons such as diet changes, insufficient water intake, changes in living habits, mental and psychological factors, drug effects, disease factors, etc. 1. Diet changes Insufficient intake of dietary fiber in the recent diet, or excessive intake of fine foods, high fat foods, etc., may affect intestinal motility and lead to constipation. Dietary fiber can increase stool volume and promote intestinal motility. When intake is insufficient, normal intestinal movement will be affected. 2. Insufficient water intake will make stool dry and hard, so it is difficult to discharge. Adequate water is essential to maintain proper humidity of stool and normal function of intestinal tract. 3. Changes in living habits such as recent lack of exercise, irregular schedule, etc. Lack of exercise is not conducive to the normal intestinal motility, and irregular work and rest may disrupt the body's biological clock, affecting intestinal function.4. Mental psychological factors Excessive stress, anxiety, depression and other emotional problems may interfere with the normal nervous regulation of the intestinal tract, resulting in constipation. Under mental stress, intestinal motility may also be inhibited. 5. Medication effects Some medications such as antidepressants, calcium supplements, iron supplements, etc. may cause constipation side effects. These medications may alter intestinal motor function or water absorption. 6. Disease factors Intestinal diseases such as intestinal obstruction, colitis, etc., or other systemic diseases such as hypothyroidism, etc., may cause sudden constipation. Disease can directly affect the structure or function of the intestine, leading to defecation problems. If constipation persists or is accompanied by other discomfort symptoms, such as abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, etc., seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause and take appropriate treatment measures. At the same time, maintaining good diet and living habits is also very important to prevent constipation.
