Q. [Constipation] I only have bowel movements when I take medication.

A.

This could be atonic constipation, characterized by impaired peristaltic function of the large intestine. Instead of stimulant laxatives, we provide treatment to help strengthen the bowel's ability to move independently.

📝 Detailed Answer

자극성 하제를 장기 복용하면 대장이 스스로 운동하는 법을 잊어버리게 됩니다(대장 무력증).

  • 악순환: 약 → 의존 → 용량 증가 → 더 심한 변비
  • 부작용: 복통, 전해질 불균형, 대장 색소 침착
💡 치료 목표

장에 진액을 공급하고 기운을 북돋아 스스로 밀어내는 힘을 키웁니다. 약 없이도 시원한 배변이 가능해집니다.
