Constipation
Constipation is one of the most common
gastrointestinal complaints in the United States, resulting in about 2
million doctor visits annually. Constipation is a symptom
rather than a disease and is the most common digestive complaint in the
United States. A standard set of criteria has been suggested that includes
at least 2 of the following symptoms present for at least 3 months:
- Hard stools
- Straining at defecation
- Sensation of incomplete evacuation at
least 25% of the time
- Two or fewer bowel movements per week
Common causes of constipation are
- not enough fiber in the diet
- not enough liquids
- lack of exercise
- medications
- irritable bowel syndrome
- changes in life or routine such as
pregnancy, older age, and travel
- abuse of laxatives
- ignoring the urge to have a bowel movement
- specific diseases such as stroke (by far
the most common)
- problems with the colon and rectum
- problems with intestinal function (chronic
idiopathic constipation)
Frequency:
- In the US: More than 4
million people have frequent constipation, a prevalence of about 2%.
Constipation accounts for an estimated 2.5 million physician visits per
year.
Morbidity: Most patients
with constipation can be treated medically, resulting in complete success
or improvement. However, a small percentage of patients are quite
debilitated as a result of constipation.
Age: Constipation can occur
in all ages, from newborns to elderly persons. An age-related increase in
the incidence of constipation exists, with 30-40% of adults older than 65
years citing constipation as a problem
In most cases, following these simple tips
will help relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence of constipation:
- Eat a well-balanced, high-fiber diet that
includes beans, bran, whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables.
- Drink plenty of liquids.
- Exercise regularly.
- Set aside time after breakfast or dinner
for undisturbed visits to the toilet.
- Do not ignore the urge to have a bowel
movement.
- Understand that normal bowel habits vary.
- Whenever a significant or prolonged change
in bowel habits occurs, check with a doctor.
