Answer

It could be caused by constipation, and treatment may involve taking medications such as flufenamic acid capsules and Mah Ren pills. Avoid spicy, alcohol, and other irritating foods. Increase the intake of fibrous foods, drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits to keep the bowels regular. Develop a habit of regular bowel movements; quit smoking and drinking; avoid excessive medication use. When you feel the urge to defecate, do it promptly, and avoid suppressing the urge.
