Overview
Constipation in adults is a common health issue which may be due to medications use like antispasmodics, anticholinergics, analgesics or may be associated with systemic disorders like diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism etc. Idiopathic constipation is considered once when the secondary causes are ruled out and may be associated with normal or slow colonic transit, defecatory dysfunction, or both. Constipation is a common problem throughout childhood and 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.
Common Causes
The main causes of constipation include:
- Hardening of the feces
- Improper mastication (chewing) of food
- Insufficient intake of dietary fiber
- Dehydration from any cause or inadequate fluid intake
- Medication, e.g. diuretics and those containing iron, calcium, aluminium
- Paralysis or slowed transit, where peristaltic action is diminished or absent, so that feces are not moved along
- Hypothyroidism (slow-acting thyroid gland)
- Hypokalemia
- Injured anal sphincter (patulous anus)
- Medications, such as loperamide, opioids (e.g. codeine & morphine) and certain tricyclic antidepressants
- Severe illness due to other causes
- Acute porphyria (a rare inherited condition)
- Lead poisoning
- Dyschezia (usually the result of suppressing defecation)
- Constriction, where part of the intestine or rectum is narrowed or blocked, not allowing feces to pass
- Stenosis (Strictures)
- Diverticula
- Tumors, either of the bowel or surrounding tissues
- Retained foreign body or a bezoar
- Psychosomatic constipation, based on anxiety or unfamiliarity with surroundings.
- Functional constipation
- Constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome, characterized by a combination of constipation and abdominal discomfort and/or pain[1]
- Smoking cessation (tobacco smoking has a laxative effect)[2]
- Abdominal surgery, other types of surgery, childbirth
