Brief Answer:
Constipation, diagnosis, investigations required
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Went through your concern about constipation.
It is a scientific way to actually find out the main reason for constipation so the treatment becomes targeted resulting in high success rates. For a once in a while constipation, it is ok to take some laxative. If the requirement of laxative is prolonged then better get youraelf evaluated.
1. Ano-Rectal Manometry: to find your rectal sensations and the status of coordination between rectal squeeze and anal relaxation at the time of the act of passing motions.
2. Colonic transit time study: to know which part of your intestine is not working properly.
3. Colonoscopy: to rule out any diverticuli or lumps that are causing obstruction to smooth motions.
4. MRI Defecography: to find whether the rectum is sliding inside itself and blocking the outer passage.
5. Pudendal nerve study: to see whether your nerves are weak or good.
Please visit a Colorectal Surgeon for the above.
We have a constipation clinic at bhatia hospital & Apollo hospital.... XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
Would prefer to consult and examine the patient before jumping onto any diagnosis or magical treatment.
Take care.
