Constipation
- Constipation
One of the most common digestive issues that affects people of all ages is constipation. It describes irregular, challenging, or insufficient bowel movements and can result in severe discomfort, bloating, and heaviness in the abdomen. Chronic or prolonged constipation frequently indicates an underlying digestive or metabolic issue that requires a proper medical diagnosis, even when occasional constipation is normal.
In order to provide long-lasting relief from constipation, we at Dr. Prateek Padole’s Gastroenterology Clinic in Nagpur employ a thorough and cause-based approach that combines medical diagnosis, dietary modification, and lifestyle advice.
Constipation symptoms
Constipation may be the cause of your symptoms if you:
- Less than three bowel movements per week
- Stools that are lumpy, dry, or hard to pass
- straining when having a bowel movement
- Bloating, fullness, or discomfort in the abdomen
- The feeling that even after passing stool, the evacuation is not complete
- Chronic cases of nausea, exhaustion, or loss of appetite
Typical Reasons for Constipation
Several things can cause constipation, including:
Low-fiber diet: Daily meals that are deficient in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Not drinking enough water during the day is known as inadequate hydration.
Sedentary lifestyle: Insufficient exercise slows down bowel movements.
Ignoring the urge: Postponing bowel motions might cause feces to become harder.
Medication: Antidepressants, iron supplements, and some painkillers.
Hormonal or metabolic conditions: pregnancy, diabetes, or thyroid imbalance.
Underlying intestinal disorders: colon blockage, anal fissures, or IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).
Diagnosis at Dr. Padole’s Clinic
Dr. Padole starts by reviewing your lifestyle, nutrition, and bowel habits in addition to conducting a thorough medical history. He might suggest:
- Physical examination, which may include a rectal or abdominal exam
- Blood tests to look for metabolic, thyroid, or calcium abnormalities
- To find intestinal blockages, use an X-ray or abdominal ultrasound.
- If necessary, a colonoscopy to assess for colon polyps or structural reasons
