Chinese science popularization guideline on the prevention and management of chronic constipation (2026, medical personnel edition)
Abstract
Chronic constipation is a common health issue affecting people of all ages, with complex etiology and prolonged course. However, it is often overlooked because initial pharmacological treatment is usually effective. With the advent of an aging society and increasing demands for quality of life, chronic constipation and its associated disorders have attracted growing attention. This guideline was jointly initiated by the Medical Science Popularization Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Anorectal Surgeons Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Anorectal Science Popularization Group of the Medical Science Popularization Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and was developed under the leadership of Professor Li Chunyu from the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University and developed by a national panel of renowned experts in anorectal diseases and science popularization. This guideline systematically addresses the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, auxiliary examinations, diagnosis, standardized treatment, and rehabilitation guidance for chronic constipation. It aims to enhance medical professionals' understanding of chronic constipation, translate professional diagnostic and treatment consensus into a practical science popularization tool that can be readily used by clinicians, enabling them to quickly and accurately grasp key points for health education and counseling, thereby improving the efficiency and effectiveness of health consultation and education, and contributing to the achievement of digestive health goals under the “Healthy China” initiative.
