Is It Really Constipation – How to tell

I mean, We’ve all been there. You know having trouble passing stool and it has happened to many of us but we were able to figure it out. You know or it just went away on its own. We usually tend to assume that serious conditions are causing it and that could be true you know. Uh! One might have Ops the patient in conditions such as the stenosis of the gastrointestinal tract. So, For example here you have your esophagus then you have your stomach over here and then you got small intestines and then the large intestines and anywhere you could. You know in some patients cancers as cars. Could be present but in reality many patients don’t even have constipation and they just assume it. So not every time you have harder consistency or lower frequency of your stool can you easily assume it’s constipation. So, Constipation can be diagnosed using strictly defined clinical criteria and that brings us to the actual question. Well, What criteria? what is the constipation? So the correct definition of constipation is basically passing stool happens less than three times a week and that continues on for a period longer than three months. Right besides this objective measure where we can just, you know look at the clock and the calendar and see the actual result? um, Personal impression of incomplete passing of the stool. Uh, Bloating in the abdomen and painful abdomen. So, Those are the Hallmark symptoms of this condition. So, If you simply sometimes have issues it doesn’t mean that it’s constipation right away. In such cases, Medical treatment may not be necessary but simple lifestyle modification can be helpful but if you truly believe that you have these symptoms and what if these symptoms are extreme but they only last two months. right? what if you do have these symptoms. right? but they didn’t but the symptoms were there only for two months not three months you know well what if the constipation doesn’t fit into this definition but yet it is causing you extreme and tremendous pain issues and that’s of course making you sad while in such cases treatments can be considered and there is a whole variety of treatments that we will explain in the next video.
