Overview
If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].
OR
Common complications of [disease name] include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
OR
Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of constipation usually can develop in the different decades of life, and start with symptoms such as bloating, mucos passage, and abdominal pain.
- Then the symptoms severed by hardened stool formation which is contributed by straining and inability to pass the stool, needed manual evacuation.
- If left untreated, patients with constipation may progress to develop rectal bleeding, colon perforation, and ultimately colorectal diverticulum and cancer.[1]
Complications
- Common complications of chronic constipation include:[2]
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally excellent, and the survival rate of patients with constipation is approximately 100%.
- The presence of palpable rectal mass and also female gender is associated with a particularly good prognosis among patients with constipation.[3]
- The colonic transit time (CTT) more than 100 hours is associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with constipation.[4][5][6]
