CONSTIPATION
Constipation has become a common term nowadays associated
with the difficulty in passing stools . Generally ,it refers to passing less
than three stools a week or having a difficult time passing stools especially
hard stools. Constipation occurs when our colon ie the large intestine absorbs too
much water than it normally does from your stool thus drying it up and making
it hard . This then becomes difficult for the body to be pushed out through the
rectum or anus. Along with this ,in a person having constipation ,the digestion
tends to take place slowly thus allowing more time in the large intestine. This
further leads to increased water absorption and hard stools. What causes
constipation? It can be mainly due to poor lifestyle choices or due to existing
medical conditions and medication. Wrong lifestyle choices include less fibre
intake, not taking enough water, no regular exercises or movement , spicy fried
foods,changes in routine like travel etc. Psychological issues like stress can
also be a cause of constipation. Pregnancy is a physiological condition where
constipation can be common. The symptoms include less frequent bowels, dry hard
or lumpy stools,painful defecation, bloating or abdominal distension, abdominal
cramps and a feeling of nausea. Although constipation can disappear after some
time due to change in diet and medication, prolonged constipation can lead to
conditions like haemorrhoids, anal fissures, impacted stool or even a toxic
megacolon.
First line of treatment always include changes in lifestyle
along with internal medications. In Ayurveda we consider constipation as
vibhandha which is caused due to an aggravated vata. This aggravated vata is brought
into balance with the help of internal
medications as well as therapies .
