How to check the cause of constipation

summary

Recently, I don't know what causes serious constipation. Sometimes I don't defecate for several days. It's very painful. After medication, the symptoms have obviously improved. I'm so happy. Now let me talk to you about how to find out the causes of constipation.

How to check the cause of constipation

Reason 1: hemorrhoids: Patients with hemorrhoids, due to anal pain during defecation, often inhibit defecation due to fear of defecation, gradually produce constipation, and constipation aggravates hemorrhoids to a certain extent. When the hemorrhoids are large, the hemorrhoid mucosa becomes thin, and the dry feces are easy to scratch the hemorrhoid mucosa when defecating, causing bloody stool.

Reason 2: intestinal polyps: especially rectal polyps bleeding. In most people, small polyps only have protuberant nodules in the intestinal mucosa. Although there are polyps in the intestinal mucosa, there are no conscious symptoms. Large polyps are usually small tumors with pedicles, protruding into the intestinal cavity, and can move up and down in the intestine. Due to the compression and stimulation of feces, there are often ulcers, erosion, and even bleeding on the surface.

Reason 3: cancer: including rectal cancer, sigmoid colon cancer, colon cancer, the main symptom is stool with blood. Sigmoid colon cancer often presents as alternating constipation and diarrhea, with blood, pus and mucus in stool. Rectal cancer is bloody stool or purulent stool, or mucus bloody stool with bloody feces.
