Most of us suffer from constipation every now and then. You may have noticed that when you travel, you may have experienced constipation for a few days or for the entire trip. Or when you eat foods that are not easy to digest.
Among healthy people, bowel movements can vary a lot, but usually its between 3 movements a day to 3 a week. If you usually have bowel movements daily and they stop for more than 3 days, it will be safe to say that you are constipated.
Constipation is very common and is a symptom, not a disease. It can be caused by many factors and it affects babies just as much as adults. Did you know that American spend about 725 million dollars every year in order to get relief for constipation?
So what causes constipation, you may ask?
Here’s a list of the most common causes that have been reported:
•Poor Diet
One of the most popular reasons you might be constipated is because of what you eat. Eating lots of meats, dairy products, eggs, among other types of foods that are high in animal fats will lead to constipation. Also, if you love sugar and eat lots of sweets, rich desserts, etc…
•IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
This is another very popular cause that produces constipation in the U.S. Some people develop spasms of the colon that increase or decrease the speed with which the contents of your intestine move through the digestive tract, leading to constipation.
•Poor Bowel Habits
Doctors advise not to ignore the urge of having a bowel movement, because this can easily start a cycle of constipation.
Some people may do this because they don’t feel comfortable using public restrooms for instance, or they are way too busy at work to even have a break and use the bathroom.
•Hormonal Disturbance
If you suffer from an underactive thyroid gland, this can result in constipation.
•Fissures and Hemorrhoids
These are usually extremely painful and can produce a spasm of the anal sphincter muscle, which can slow down bowel movements.
•Nerve Damage
If you have suffered an injury to your spinal cord and/or tumors are pressing down on it, this can produce constipation, as it affects the nerves that lead to your intestine.
•Laxative Abuse
Some people take laxatives constantly, or even increase their dose to a higher prescription, but there will be a moment when your intestine won’t become sensitive anymore to the urge of a natural bowel movement. This will mean that your intestine will fail to work on its own, properly.
•Imaginary Constipation
Who could even think that this was a possible cause, right? But indeed it is very common and results from misconceptions about how many bowel movements per week are considered normal. As mentioned earlier, the number of normal bowel movements can vary from person to person.
•Specific Diseases
Diseases such as lupus or scleroderma, among other diseases that affect the body tissue, and certain neurological or muscular diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, a stroke and Parkinson’s disease can all be responsible for constipation.
•Colonic Motility Disease
The contraction and relaxation of your intestine can become ineffective, which will cause colonic inertia or outlet obstruction.
•Traveling
Changes in your schedule, diet, lifestyle can contribute to constipation. It is recommendable to drink lots of water and stay well hydrated when going on any trips. Water has a lot to do with constipation. If you forget to drink fluids, chances are your stool will be very hard, making it painful and difficult to move through your intestine and be expelled from your rectum.
•Pregnancy
Would you be surprised to know that pregnant women suffer from constipation a lot? Doctors suggest it may be caused due to hormonal changes.
•Mechanical Compression
The inflammation and scarring around the diverticula, cancer and tumors can produce mechanical compression of your intestine and result in constipation.
•Loss of Body Salts
Constipation can occur when one looses body salts through your kidneys or when vomiting or having diarrhea.
•Medications
It’s very common for many medicines to cause constipation. Here’s a list of them:
-Pain killers, especially Narcotics
-Antacids that contain calcium or aluminum
-Tranquilizers
-Iron supplements
-Calcium channel blockers for high blood pressure and heart conditions
-Antidepressant drugs
-Antispasmodic drugs
-Antiparkinson drugs
-Anticonvulsants for epilepsy
Some people are more prone to suffering from constipation than others. But when do you know that you have to visit a doctor?
•When a significant and extended change of your normal bowel routine occur
•When symptoms are severe
•When symptoms last for 3 weeks or more
•If you have used laxatives longer than 3 weeks
We hope this article has increased your knowledge about such a common symptom among people.
