What is Constipation ?

Constipation is defined as infrequent bowel motions or difficult faeces transit that lasts for several weeks or longer. Constipation is defined as a lack of more than three bowel motions per week.

Though constipation is quite frequent, some people suffer from chronic constipation which can make it difficult to go about their everyday lives. Chronic constipation can also cause people to strain unnecessarily in order to pass gas or faeces.

Symptoms of Constipation

  • Passing fewer than three stools a week.
  • Having lumpy or hard stools.
  • Straining to have bowel movements.
  • Feeling as though there’s a blockage in your rectum that prevents bowel movements.
  • Feeling as if you can’t empty the stool from your rectum.
  • Need help to empty your rectum, such as pressing on your abdomen with your hands and removing stool from your rectum with a finger.
If you’ve had two or more of these symptoms in the last three months, you may have chronic constipation.

Causes of Constipation

Constipation most commonly occurs when waste or stool moves too slowly through the digestive tract or cannot be eliminated effectively from the rectum, which may cause the stool to become hard and dry. Chronic constipation has many possible causes.

Blockages in the colon or rectum

Stool movement may be slowed or stopped due to obstructions in the colon or rectum. Causes include:
  • Tiny tears in the skin around the anus (anal fissure)
  • Narrowing of the intestines (bowel stricture)
  • An intestine blockage is all possible (bowel obstruction)
  • Rectal cancer
  • Colon cancer
  • The rectum bulges through the vaginal back wall (rectocele)

Problems with the nerves around the colon and rectum

Neurological problems can affect the nerves that cause muscles in the colon and rectum, anus, and anal canal to contract and move stool through the intestines. Causes include:
  • Damage to the nerves that control bodily functions (autonomic neuropathy)
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Stroke

Difficulty with the muscles involved in elimination

Chronic constipation can be caused by issues with the pelvic muscles involved in bowel movements. These problems may include:
  • The inability to relax the pelvic muscles to allow for a bowel movement (anismus)
  • Pelvic muscles that don’t have a good balance of relaxation and contraction (dyssynergia)
  • Weakened pelvic muscles

Constipation can be caused by a variety of diseases and disorders that disrupt the hormone balance, such as:

  • Diabetes
  • Overactive parathyroid gland (hyperparathyroidism)
  • Pregnancy
  • Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)

Complications of Constipation

Swollen veins in your anus (haemorrhoids):
When you strain to get a bowel movement, the veins in and around your anus can enlarge i.e., piles or haemorrhoids.
Small tears in the anus might be caused by a large or hard stool.
Chronic constipation can result in an accumulation of tough feces in your intestines.
When you strain to produce a bowel movement, a little portion of your rectum may extend and protrude from the anus.
