British believe that gastric emptying in normal may be three times a day to three times a week.
Domestic proctology believe that the norm can be considered only the daily cleansing of the bowel; deviation from this rule - is constipation.
Causes of constipation and how to get rid of constipation
Ideally, the chair should be every day in the morning once.
What predisposes to constipation?
The absence in the diet of fruits and vegetables, especially raw, crude fiber, which include brown bread and cereals deprives humans of the natural causative agent of intestinal peristalsis. The diet of modern man has too "soft", digestible ingredients: white bread, a simple sugar, broth.
Animal fats and proteins (meat, fish, eggs, butter) do not make the colon "work", causing intestinal atony and constipation.
Eating a variety of sandwiches, sandwiches, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, especially in haste, "on the run", the lack of dietary soups - all contribute to constipation.
The liquid food should be not less than 1, 5-2 liters a day (of course, if there are no contraindications of the heart, kidneys, blood pressure). In today's Hollywood movies are often seen as a superhero, chewing a sandwich on the go, making a lot of cases: works on a computer, drives a car, busy business negotiations, etc.
American nutritionists have come to the conclusion that this food leads to many disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Eating should be in a relaxed atmosphere, there should be slowly, carefully chewing food instead of swallowing it with pieces on the go.
All kinds of stress, unhealthy lifestyle can cause disorders of the intestine. For example, some children are shy to use collective toilets in schools, lay it "deal" to return home.
The secretary in the office or a store cashier in a continuous stream of visitors detain desires on a chair until the end of the work. So gradually decreases receptor sensitivity of the colon.
Lack of exercise in modern urban human leads to a general weakening of the physical tone of the body, including the tone of the intestine.
How to get rid of constipation?
Knowing these reasons, we can gain a personal program of struggle. Well, if it nevertheless does not work?
In this case, permissible to resort to laxatives, which can be divided into three groups: Actually laxatives, causing mushy or watery stools (drugs rhubarb, buckthorn, senna) - means for causing chemical irritation of the intestinal mucosa and lead to its increased peristalsis.
This herbal drugs
:
rhubarb root, buckthorn bark, fruits zhostera, senna leaves, Sabur, Senado Glaxo, kafiol, castor oil, as well as some synthetic drugs.
All of them are "spur" sluggish intestines that do systematically, of course, can not medication will act "as a whip to ride a horse", especially if the diet is low in fiber. There may be side effects of such drugs: intestinal spasms, cramping abdominal pain, false desires on a chair.
Castor oil is very good cleans the entire intestine, so is used to survey the intestine (rectoscopy, colonoscopy, barium enema), as well as before the operation. However, it can not be used for pregnant women as it causes contraction of the muscles of the uterus and can cause miscarriage.
Pronosnye causing violent peristalsis and abundant stools (castor oil, saline laxatives) - drugs that cause an increase in the volume and dilution of the stool, which leads to their quick "evacuation."
Action laxatives for chronic constipation more physiological. However, with prolonged use (months) from the stool may lose electrolytes (salts of potassium, sodium, etc.) That elderly people with heart failure is becoming a serious problem. Therefore, more than three months of use, these preparations is undesirable.
Laxative and cause the chair close to normal (liquid paraffin) - means to facilitate softening stool and facilitate their advancement through the intestines. This liquid paraffin, and almond oil.
Introduction to the diet of a large amount of vegetable oil (sunflower, corn, soybean, olive, etc.) Is also very useful to combat constipation.
Unless
constipation arose after the operation, it is recommended mineral oil. It is totally absorbed in the intestines and taken inside, "transit" passes through the gastrointestinal tract, "lubricating" the stool and the entire intestine from the inside.
However, this classification is rather conditional, since the potency of laxative depends, of course, on the dose.
When 2-3 days no chair, and diet and laxatives do not help, you can put a cleansing enema. To cal not injured intestinal mucosa into the water, which is an enema, it is necessary to add 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
Water for enemas not necessarily have to be boiled, it can be ordinary tap water. Its temperature should be at room or 20-36 degrees Celsius. The volume of enema of 0, 5 to 1 liter.
