Constipation refers to a condition in which feces stay in the intestines for too long, resulting in reduced frequency of bowel movements, dry and hard stools, and difficulty or incomplete excretion. Generally, not having a bowel movement for more than two days may indicate constipation. If you have bowel movements every day but have difficulty defecating and there is still a feeling of residual stool after defecation, or if you have abdominal distension, it should also be considered as constipation.

When constipation occurs, the lower abdomen often swells and the urge to defecate is not completely gone. In severe cases, symptoms such as loss of appetite, dizziness, and weakness may occur. This may be related to the local mechanical effect of feces causing nerve reflexes.

How does constipation occur?

The rectum is empty most of the time. When feces from the colon enters the rectum, the rectum is expanded and stimulates the pressure receptors in the rectum. The receptors are transmitted to the cerebral cortex through the afferent nerves of the defecation reflex, generating a defecation intention. The defecation command is transmitted to the effector organs involved in defecation through the efferent nerves. Then the rectum contracts, the anal sphincter relaxes, the diaphragm and abdominal muscles contract, the breath is held, the abdominal pressure increases, and the feces is expelled from the body. This is the normal defecation process.

Certain factors cause the rectal wall pressure receptors to become sluggish, the rectal and anal sphincter muscles to malfunction, the intestinal motility to weaken, the feces to be unable to be discharged in time, the water to be excessively absorbed, the stool to become dry and hard, and constipation to occur.

Constipation is generally divided into two categories: organic constipation, which is caused by various diseases; and functional constipation, which is mostly caused by injuries, drugs, and bad living and bowel habits. Chronic intractable constipation in clinical practice refers to a disease course of more than two years, which is difficult to respond to medication and various non-surgical treatments and requires surgical treatment. Primary constipation refers to constipation with unclear etiology and difficult treatment; secondary constipation is caused by congenital diseases, injuries, drugs, and surgery.
