Constipation may be related to the spine, and may be caused by spinal fracture, lumbar disc herniation, etc. It may also be caused by weakening of the gastrointestinal tract and intestinal polyps.
1. Spinal fracture, lumbar disc herniation: Spinal fracture and lumbar disc herniation affect the vagus nerve, causing defecation dysfunction and possible constipation. Patients with spinal injuries are usually immobile and have little exercise, etc., which affects the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract and may also lead to constipation. This condition is generally related to the spine.
2. Weakening of gastrointestinal function: slow peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, unable to push the food residue in time, may have difficulty in defecation. This condition is caused by the weakened function of the gastrointestinal tract and has nothing to do with the spine.
3. Intestinal polyps: large intestinal polyps, resulting in narrowing of the intestinal tract, food debris discharge difficulties, constipation may occur, you can do a colonoscopy and other definitive diagnosis, this situation has nothing to do with the spine.
Constipation in patients with bad spine may also be caused by other reasons such as improper diet, intestinal obstruction, etc. They should consult the doctor in time to find out the cause and carry out reasonable treatment under the doctor’s guidance to avoid delaying their condition.
