Overview
Constipation in adults may be due to side effects of medications, such as antispasmodics, anticholinergics, analgesics; or may be associated with systemic disorders, such as diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism. Idiopathic constipation should be considered once the secondary causes are ruled out and it may be associated with normal or slow colonic transit, dysfunction in defecation, or both. Constipation in childhood often resolves with age after proper guidance regarding diet, toilet training, and toileting behaviors.
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. These conditions include the followings:[1]
- Atropine poisoning
- Hypokalemia
- Lead poisoning
- Opium poisoning
- Severe dehydration
- Spinal cord injury
- Superior mesenteric artery occlusion
- Volvulus
Common Causes
Common causes of constipation include:[2][3][4][5][6]
- Hardening of the feces
- Improper mastication
- Insufficient intake of dietary fiber
- Dehydration
- Medications (aluminium, calcium, diuretic, iron)
- Paralysis or slowed transit
- Hypothyroidism
- Hypokalemia
- Injured anal sphincter (patulous anus)
- Medications (loperamide, codeine, morphine and certain tricyclic antidepressants)
- Severe illness due to other causes
- Acute intermittent porphyria
- Lead poisoning
- Dyschezia (usually the result of suppressing defecation)
- Constriction, where part of the intestine or rectum is narrowed or blocked
- Stenosis
- Diverticulosis
- Pelvic masses
- Retained foreign body or a bezoar
- Psychosomatic constipation
- Smoking cessation
- Abdominal surgery
- Childbirth
