1 Constipation with severe abdominal pain, abdominal distension and vomiting often suggests acute constipation, and the possibility of intestinal obstruction should be considered. When intestinal obstruction occurs, abdominal auscultation can often lead to hyperactivity of bowel sounds or high-pitched metallic sounds, and intestinal paralysis can occur in the late stage. Constipation with abdominal mass may be colon tumor, abdominal tumor compressing colon, intestinal tuberculosis, Crohn's disease or lymphadenopathy. When the left lower abdomen touches the active rope-like or sausage-like intestine, it should be suspected that it is sigmoid spasm when constipation and diarrhea alternate, and there is dull pain around the umbilicus or in the middle and lower abdomen, which often suggests intestinal tuberculosis or intra-abdominal tuberculosis, Crohn's disease, chronic ulcerative colitis or irritable bowel syndrome. 4 pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen or rectum and anus, and the pain and discomfort are relieved after the hard and thick fecal mass is solved, which indicates that rectal constipation (defecation stimulation is weakened); The left lower abdomen was dull pain and discomfort, and the chestnut-like complications were solved.

1. Constipation often causes emotional changes, upset and inattention, which affects daily life and work, and is related to the occurrence and development of the following diseases. 2. Constipation often leads to anorectal complications. Long-term constipation will cause carcinogens produced by intestinal bacteria fermentation to stimulate intestinal mucosal epithelial cells, leading to dysplasia and easy to induce cancer. Constipation causes perianal diseases, such as proctitis, anal fissure and hemorrhoids. Constipation, difficulty in defecation and dry feces can directly cause or aggravate anorectal diseases. Hard dung blocks the intestinal cavity, which narrows the intestinal cavity, compresses the structures around the pelvic cavity, hinders the peristalsis of the colon, and oppresses the rectum or colon, causing blood circulation disorder, and can also form fecal ulcers, which can cause intestinal perforation in severe cases. Colonic diverticulum, intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal nerve dysfunction (such as loss of appetite, abdominal distension, belching, bitter taste, excessive anal exhaust, etc.). ) can also happen. 3. Constipation can also induce parenteral complications, such as stroke, affecting brain function (memory loss, distraction, mental retardation), and sexual life disorders. It also plays an important role in the occurrence of hepatic encephalopathy, breast diseases, Alzheimer's disease and other diseases. Clinically, cardiovascular diseases caused by constipation tend to increase, such as angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. 4. Long-term constipation is prone to breast cancer: experts from the Toronto Cancer Institute in Canada found that there is a mutagen in the feces of constipation. It has been determined that the mutant is similar to several known cancer substances. These mutagens, after being absorbed by intestinal tract, can enter the breast tissue which is quite sensitive to them with blood circulation, so the possibility of breast cancer is obviously increased.

Constipation prevention

You can eat more vegetables, leeks, celery, sweet potatoes and so on. Because the fiber rope is not easy to be digested and absorbed, the amount of residue is large, which can increase the intestinal internal volume, increase the intestinal pressure and increase the intestinal peristalsis, which is beneficial to defecation. You also need to drink more water, especially for heavy manual workers.
