Whether constipation causes abdominal pain is related to a variety of causes. If constipation is caused by decreased bowel motility, it may not cause abdominal pain and is usually treated with oral medication such as mosapride citrate. If the constipation is caused by intestinal obstruction or tightening of the external sphincter, it may lead to abdominal pain, which is usually treated with medication, such as oral scopolamine and surgery.
1. Reduced peristalsis: due to the reduced peristalsis function of the stomach and intestines, unable to promote the food for adequate digestion and absorption, the residue of fecal matter stagnation in the intestines can not be discharged smoothly, resulting in constipation, the power of the low generally does not lead to spasm of the gastrointestinal muscles, and therefore may not cause abdominal pain. Constipation is usually treated with medication, such as oral mosapride citrate.
2. Intestinal obstruction: the accumulation of intestinal contents can cause constipation, if the contents of the stimulation of gastrointestinal muscles, causing muscle spasms leading to abdominal pain symptoms, generally through surgical relief of obstruction, the presence of bacterial infection oral metronidazole and other antibiotic treatment.
3. External sphincter constriction: due to abnormal excitation of parasympathetic nerves leading to muscle constriction caused by abdominal pain, generally oral relief of intestinal muscle tension contraction of drugs, such as scopolamine, scopolamine or atropine.
