Influence of social habits and psychological factors on constipation

The influence on constipation will be the following two factors: 1. Social habits Social habits including sleep, intestinal hygiene and lifestyle are intuitively expressed as some personal habits that affect the body’s defecation function, and retrospective analysis of these factors found that these habits do not serve as the cause of constipation and become the subject of systematic studies. The bowel habits of 77 individuals living in the United States, 40 of whom were women, were analyzed. The premise of this study was that immigrants are more prone to constipation due to changes in their living environment, such as diet, work habits, and bowel problems that occur with immigration. By answering an 11-question questionnaire subjects recorded changes in their bowel habits one month before, during, and after immigration. Stool consistency was measured by the Bristol Stool Form Scale, jet lag syndrome due to travel was evaluated by the Columbia Jet Lag Scale questionnaire, and stool was measured by colonic time application contrast, the results of which were of interest before and during migration. The investigators found a significant difference in daily defecation activity (0.97 ± 0.07 pre-migration; 0.68 ± 0.06 post-migration), with a significant decrease after migration (p < 0.05). However, comparing stool passage times between the two periods revealed no significant difference, (pre-migration, 36.7 ± 4.2 h. Post-migration, 36.2 ± 2.8 h, p= ns). The investigators thus concluded that migration or sojourn may lead to a change in bowel habits, and in fact, the percentage of subjects complaining of constipation did show a significant increase. This suggests that the decrease in the number of bowel movements is associated with migration and may be related to jet lag syndrome, changes in exercise habits and dietary habits, and may be a normal consequence of travel by air. 2, psychological factors In clinical practice and research, we found that gastrointestinal disorders are closely related to mental status, mood and irregular diet, and studies related to this definitely have a therapeutic tendency, and questionnaires were sent to the community to test the relationship between psycho-psychiatric problems and GI symptoms. The results of these analyses revealed that anxiety was more strongly associated with gastrointestinal dysfunction (e.g., constipation, diarrhea, and heartburn) than depression, and this association was significant in both the anxiety and depression groups; there were no demographic factors nor lifestyle effects in this study, nor were there other gastrointestinal causative factors that could explain the effects of anxiety and depression on these gastrointestinal symptoms. Thus, it was concluded that the association between patients' psychological problems and gastrointestinal symptoms is not merely selective bias, but may be related to the symptoms themselves. The study by Nehra et al. showed that the prevalence of psychological disorders is closely associated with disturbances in rectal emptying. Of the 60 patients in the study (55 women), the number of patients with psychological disorders was 39 (65%). These psychological problems were subdivided and scored as follows: eating disorders 5, ergic syndrome 3, pain 6, anxiety and depression 10, depression with pain 3, and eating disorders, anxiety-depression and pain concurrently 12. After evaluating these patients with the above indicators, they were scheduled for pelvic-pelvic floor muscle retraining and the relationship between the psychological state of these patients and the results of retraining was studied and analyzed. It was demonstrated that the prevalence of psychological disorders was significant in patients with constipation in the third stage of treatment, and that behavioral treatment was not effective. Eating disorders affect approximately 5 million Americans each year, and these symptoms occur significantly in adolescent boys and girls. These include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating, and abnormal body weight are all features of abnormal eating, both as a consequence of restrictive eating and excessive anxiety about body shape and weight. These conditions associated with abnormal eating, including diarrhea and constipation, may be a consequence of improper dieting or some dieting behavior associated with cataplexy, and may include the use of mildly laxative agents, enemas, diuretics, drugs that make people anorexic, caffeine, or other central nervous system stimulants.
