Its not always a simple concern
Constipation is one of the most common digestive problems. With constipation, the stool is hard and difficult to pass. Bowel movements occur less often than normal. VitalLife offers constipation treatment in Bangkok to ease and eliminate constipation. Individuals at a greater risk for constipation include people who are over the age of 65 years, confined to a bed as well as women and children.
Constipation is usually caused by lifestyle, diet, medications, or other factors that interfere with the stool's ability to pass normally. Each person's definition of normal bowel movements can be different. Some individuals go three times a day, but others might go three times a week.
You may be constipated if you experience the following symptoms:
- Less than three bowel movements a week
- Hard or dry stools
- Pain or strain during bowel movements
- Feeling full, even after a bowel movement
- Experiencing a rectal blockage
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it might be time to see VitalLifes stomach doctor in Bangkok.
Poor diet is one of the most frequent causes of constipation. If the body does not receive enough dietary fiber and water, it will be difficult for the stool to stay soft. Fiber-rich foods should be included in your everyday diet to prevent constipation.
Stress and changes in your routine can also lead to constipation. When the body is under stress, it can delay the urge to go to the bathroom or slow the muscle contractions of the colon.
Other common causes of constipation include:
- A low-fiber diet
- Diets high in dairy or meat
- Dehydration
- Travel or changing shift work
- Medications such as pain medications or the overuse of laxatives
- Lack of exercise
- Pregnancy
If you have been eating a low-fiber diet, not drinking enough water, experiencing stress, or have been experiencing changes in your routine, you are at a higher risk of developing constipation. VitalLife's constipation treatment in Bangkok can help prevent and treat constipation symptoms.

The abdomen is intermittently massaged to increase the effectiveness of the treatment. The treatment can last 30 to 45 minutes. When your abdomen feels ‘full you can push down and the waste is washed away. However, the longer you are able to hold the water allows enables it to loosens the fecal matter for expulsion.
