General information on the causes of constipation and how it is treated

The causes of constipation can be very different and usually represent soboTh set of a number of factors, such as:

• improper nutrition, the lack of a constant diet of products that improve intestinal motility, and liquid food;
• lack of physical activity, which leads to stagnant processes in the body;
• stress;
• reception of certain medications, the side effect of which is disruption of the gastrointestinal tract;
• regular use of laxatives without an urgent need;
• pregnancy;
• various kinds of hormonal disorders;
• bowel disease, accompanied by acute pain during defecation.

It is necessary to fight with constipation regardless of the cause of their occurrence.To effectively get rid of this unpleasant condition, it is necessary to increase the motor activity and introduce into the diet foods saturated with cellulose( cabbage, cucumbers, apples).As the most effective forms of drugs in the treatment of constipation, candles are allocated, since they allow direct action on the intestines, helping to reduce stagnant processes, and at the same time allow smooth and painless stooling in a short time.

Candles are used as a medical product once a day, usually 15-20 minutes after breakfast.

Glycerin suppositories and methods of their use

The main active substance of this drug is glycerin, which allows you to get rid of constipation caused by decreased mobility in the elderly, as well as people with disabilities or those whose work does not require much physical activity( for example,Truck drivers or office staff).

When using glycerin suppositories( for example, Glycerolax, Glycerin suppositories, Glycerol), the defecation process occurs on the basis of mechanical stimulation of the intestinal walls, which allows the calves to easily separate, and the lubricant contained in the preparation promotes gentle emptying.Candles with glycerin have a number of serious contraindications, such as:

• anal fissures;
• exacerbation of hemorrhoids;
• inflammatory processes in the rectal area.

If one of the above factors is present, glycerin suppositories should not be used as a deterrent because it can lead to adverse consequences for the body.

The use of gas-producing candles from constipation

The principle of this type of candles is based on the release of carbon dioxide, which stretches the walls of the intestine and enhances its activity.Thanks to this effect, the intestine, being reduced in a natural way, gets rid of unnecessary contents.As the main gas-forming drugs, as a rule, use Calciulax and Ferrolaks.

It should be remembered that the use of these drugs in the treatment of constipation is possible for a short time, since the body ceases to perform all necessary functions of emptying.There are no other contraindications to the drug.

Candles for children

In children with constipation, both glycerin and gas-forming candles can be used.In order to correctly introduce the drug, you must put the child on its side, bend the legs in the knees and pull them to the chest, after which the pre-warmed( but not melted) in the hands of the candle slowly enter the anus and, holding the buttocks, straighten the child's legs.In order to ensure the reliability of the procedure, it is recommended to leave the child in a horizontal position for 1-2 minutes.

Treatment of constipation with candles in pregnant women and women who have recently given birth

Because pregnant women, as well as women who have recently given birth, often have constant problems with the intestines, and incorrectly selected treatments can adversely affect not only their health, but also the condition of their unborn child, Should be very cautious in choosing drugs for the treatment of constipation.

So, for example, in the first trimester of pregnancy categorically contra-indicated candles with glycerin content, because mechanical irritation of the intestinal wall can trigger miscarriage.In this case, it is necessary to contact the attending physician without fail, who will not only prescribe safe and effective treatment, but also be able to understand the causes of constipation, and, therefore, to prevent their occurrence in the future.

In any case, only the correct prevention of possible diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, exercise and competent nutrition are very effective way to prevent the development of constipation.
