Constipation
Constipation refers to infrequent or hard
stools, or difficulty passing stools. Constipation may involve pain during the
passage of a bowel movement, inability to pass a bowel movement after straining
or pushing for more than 10 minutes, or no bowel movements after more than 3
days. Infants who are still exclusively breastfed may go 7 days without a
stool.
What
causes constipation?
To understand constipation,
it helps to know how the colon, or large intestine, works. As food moves
through the colon, the colon absorbs water from the food while it forms waste
products, or stool. Muscle contractions in the colon then push the stool toward
the rectum. By the time stool reaches the rectum it is solid, because most of
the water has been absorbed.
Constipation occurs when the
colon absorbs too much water or if the colon’s muscle contractions are slow or
sluggish, causing the stool to move through the colon too slowly. As a result,
stools can become hard and dry. Common causes of constipation are
- Not enough fiber in the diet
- Lack of physical activity (especially in the elderly)
- Medications
- Milk
- Irritable bowel syndrome-IBS
- Changes in life or routine such as pregnancy, aging,
and travel
- Abuse of laxatives
- Ignoring the urge to have a bowel movement
- Dehydration
- Specific diseases or conditions, such as stroke (most
common)
- Problems with the colon and rectum
- Problems with intestinal function (chronic idiopathic
constipation)
Symptoms of Constipation
The clinical definition of
constipation is having any two of the following symptoms for at least 12
weeks—not always consecutive—in the previous 12 months:
- Straining during bowel movements
- Lumpy or hard stool
- Sensation of incomplete evacuation
- Sensation of anorectal blockage/obstruction
