Constipation and it’s  effects: How It Makes Anorectal Diseases More Complicate?

Constipation is a condition interpreted by people in different ways. But roughly it can be said that a person can be said to suffer from constipation when he/she has three or less than three bowel movements in a week, and/or has hard stools, difficult to pass.  Chronic constipation results in infrequent bowel movements or having a hard time in passing stools for many weeks and/or a feeling of incomplete evacuation even after passing stool. The stool is usually small, dry, and hard which makes the stool difficult to pass and it may be painful. 

Constipation occurs when too much of water from the stool is being absorbed by the colon hence, the stool is dried up and causes difficulty in passing out.  Normally, food travels from small to large intestine (colon), which absorbs water. Then it is expelled out. In constipation, the movement of food through the large intestine occurs slowly and this gives the colon more time to absorb water, resulting in hard and dried up stools.

Self medication for constipation often results in chronic constipation. A prolonged use of laxatives damage the ‘hustral folds’ of the intestine making it difficult for the stool to pass through normally resulting in drug dependency.
