Constipation is a common clinical disease, of which the elderly have a higher incidence. People have misconceptions about constipation, thinking that constipation is a minor disease, not worth going to the hospital, just buy some laxatives at home to eat on the line. In fact, constipation to human health hazards are not negligible. Because the toxins in the human body, mainly through the feces out of the body. Long-term constipation, the body can not be timely discharge of toxins, can induce inflammation, tumors and other diseases. What are the clinical examination methods of constipation? Here, let’s learn more about it. 1, gastrointestinal through test It is recommended that at least 48h after discontinuing the relevant drugs after taking 20 impermeable X-ray markers, take an abdominal film (normal when most markers have arrived in the rectum or have been discharged), the purpose of choosing 48h film is likely to observe the distribution of markers at this time, such as most have been concentrated in the sigmoid colon and rectal area or have not yet reached this area, then the end suggests that the normal through If the majority of markers have not reached the sigmoid colon and rectum or are still in the sigmoid colon and rectum, then it supports slow passage constipation or outlet obstructive constipation, respectively, if another one is taken at 72h. The gastrointestinal passage test is an easy method that can be extended and applied. Its accuracy may increase if extended to 5-6 days with one film, but feasibility is poor because most patients have difficulty adhering and self-administer laxatives. The sensitivity of the test is reduced, especially the difficulty in determining the type of constipation, unless a series of films is taken. 2, anorectal manometry can provide information on the presence or absence of local mechanisms of anorectal constipation, such as paradoxical contraction of the external anal sphincter during forceful evacuation, suggesting outlet obstructive constipation; after injecting air into the rectal balloon, if the anorectal inhibitory reflex is absent, it suggests Hirschsprung’sdisease; and the mucosal response of the rectal wall to the injection of air into the balloon. After the gas caused by the sense of bowel movement, the maximum tolerance limit of the volume, etc., can provide the rectal wall of the defecation threshold is normal. 3.Anorectal finger examination Here, it is emphasized that anorectal finger examination is not only an important method to check whether there is rectal cancer, but also a common and simple technique to determine whether there is export obstructive constipation. In particular, the enhanced sphincter tone, the sphincter can not relax during forceful defecation, but rather contract more, suggesting long-term extreme effort to defecate, resulting in sphincter hypertrophy, and at the same time in paradoxical contraction during forceful defecation. Do not treat constipation as a minor disease Constipation is actually a multidisciplinary disease, diet, disease, drugs, mental and other factors may lead to constipation. But the main cause can be attributed to two kinds, one is constipation caused by organic lesions, such as tumors, inflammation, tuberculosis, polyps, etc.; the second is functional constipation, such as low colonic power function, emptying disorders, intestinal peristaltic function is reduced. Patients with constipation should go to the hospital for examination to confirm the cause of constipation. If you take medicine at home without examination, you may have some effect in the short term, but it may cover up the condition and delay the treatment. The elderly is a common group of constipation patients, but constipation is by no means the patent of the elderly. In recent years, young people suffering from constipation has increased the trend, especially white-collar women. These people work under great pressure, excessive psychological tension, go out in the car, get off the car and go upstairs, sit in the office for a long time, low activity is an important reason. Young and middle-aged people should pay attention to adjust their mindset, reduce psychological pressure, especially to learn to relax, and take some time every day for physical activity exercise to prevent chronic constipation. Constipation is very common, how to relieve constipation? 1, you can use some can produce gas diet to stimulate intestinal peristalsis. Rhubarb for constipation cannot be used for a long time. If the small amount of stool generated by eating too little is not enough to generate mechanical stimulation of the rectal mucosa, the patient needs to be encouraged to participate in more cultural and physical activities and physical labor to improve appetite and increase the amount of food eaten. 2, normal weight, blood lipids are not high constipation patients, can eat more fat diet. People with high blood lipids can add more vegetable oil to their cooking, and can also eat more fruit when they have the conditions, in addition, cassia seeds, honey also has the effect of laxative. Generally speaking, strong tea, chili, alcohol and other stimulating food is not conducive to the passage of stool, do not eat. 3, eat a lot of diet containing dregs, especially fresh vegetables containing more fiber, so the diet can supply the body with considerable vitamin C, and can provide enough dietary residues to stimulate the intestinal wall, prompting intestinal peristalsis to speed up, so that feces easy to discharge to the body. You should drink more hot water to keep enough water in the intestinal cavity to soften the stool, so as to achieve the purpose of treating dry stool.
