We all often have to face the problem of constipation in our daily routine. When we eat fried or heavy food items, we suffer from constipation, which is very common. But when this problem increases, we have to face a lot of difficulties in passing stool. If this problem persists for a long time, then it is called chronic constipation, due to which defecation can become very difficult and even painful. Due to our stomach not being cleaned properly, problems like heaviness, pain and gas occur in the stomach and we feel like emptying the stomach or passing stool again and again, but due to constipation, this is not possible.
Why do laxative medicines not work?
According to doctors, when a patient has severe constipation or is a victim of chronic constipation, then the doctor gives medicines that cause diarrhea or laxatives to such a person or patient. Doctors say that those patients who suffer from constipation for a long time or for years, use laxative medicines regularly. Diarrhea starts after taking this medicine, but according to doctors, despite taking medicines for diarrhea or laxatives for years, only 30 to 40 percent of the patients get affected by this medicine. The remaining 50 to 60 percent people or patients do not get relief and continue to struggle with their dangerous constipation.
According to doctors, the biggest reason behind the lack of effect of diarrhea medicines on patients with chronic constipation is that when they pass stool, the muscles present in the lower part of the stomach and hips, which we also call the pelvic floor and the anus of the body, are not able to relax, that is, they are not able to become loose. If any person has to pass stool, then it is most important for the stool to be loose, only then the stool can come out of the body properly. But due to chronic and excessive constipation, these muscles get contracted, due to which one has to face a lot of difficulties in passing stool. This condition is called dysinergic defecation. Due to this problem, people suffer from chronic constipation and face a lot of difficulties in passing stool.
