Most patients can gradually recover 3-12 months after stopping laxatives and improving their diet."
Director Wang of Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital added: "Clinically, it has been found that patients with intestinal blackening are 2-3 times more likely to develop polyps later than normal people. Regular follow-up is very important."

Only through a balanced diet, moderate exercise and regular check-ups can we protect our "second brain".
