Constipation is a common ailment that affects both adults and children. Various treatments for constipation are now available. One of them is the use of rectal micro-infusions. How does such an infusion work and how to use it correctly? When does the effect of its action appear?
Ways to treat constipation
Constipation is a common problem that can significantly reduce the quality of life. Its causes can vary. Among them are a diet low in fiber, intake of too little fluid, sedentary lifestyle, stress or medications taken. In some people, the bowel movement problem occurs occasionally, while in others it is chronic. Treatment of constipation should depend on the cause of the disorder. Sometimes it may be sufficient to make appropriate changes in diet or lifestyle. However, this is not always sufficient. It is then possible to reach for a preparation that will facilitate bowel movements. Treatment of constipation is needed and should be introduced as soon as possible.
Many preparations are used in the treatment of constipation. They differ in their mechanism of action, as well as the speed of the appearance of the effect. In the treatment of chronic constipation, lactulose is used, as well as macrolides, which are distinguished by their high safety, effectiveness and good tolerance. However, their effect is not immediate, which makes them unsuitable for situations where a rapid laxative effect is needed. The defecatory effect is provided by rectal suppositories and oral tablets, which contain substances that irritate the walls of the intestine and stimulate its peristalsis or compounds with osmotic action. A quick solution to intractable constipation is also a rectal microinfusion.
