Constipation
Dr. Pradeep Kushwaha, M.D.
Causes of constipation
Constipation can be caused by the slow passage of digesting food through any part of the digestive system. Most of the time, however, the slowing occurs in the colon.
- Medications that cause constipation- The most common medications that cause include:
- Narcotic pain killer
- Antidepressants
- Iron supplements
- Nonsteroidal ant-inflammatory or NSAIDs(pain killer)
- Habit: Bowel movements are under voluntary control. This means that the normal urge you feel when you need to have one can be suppressed. Although occasionally it is appropriate to suppress an urge to defecate (for example, when a bathroom is not available), doing this too frequently can lead to a disappearance of urges and result in constipation.
- Diet: Fiber is important in maintaining a soft, bulky stool; therefore eating foods low in fiber can cause constipation. The best natural sources of fiber are fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
- Laxatives: over-use of stimulant laxatives, for example, castor oil, and many herbs can damage the nerves and muscles of the colon, possibly resulting in the condition.
- Hormonal disorders: Hormones can affect bowel movements. For example:Too little thyroid hormone(hypothyroidism) and too much parathyroid hormone (by raising the calcium levels in the blood). At the time of a woman's menstrual periods, estrogen and progesterone levels are high. However, this is rarely a prolonged condition. High levels of estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy also cause constipation.
Symptoms of constipation
- Infrequent bowel movements
- Straining when going to the bathroom

- Sense of incomplete evacuation after going to the bathroom

- Possible aggravation of diverticular disease, hemorrhoids and rectal prolapse
