Constipated Patients Need not Worry

Constipated Patients Need not Worry

Dr. N. M. Choudhuri Offers the Best Treatment in the following Remedies

Alumina

Constipation due to intestinal atony; strains to even pass soft, clay like stools. This condition is often met with in women during pregnancy, in old people and bottle fed babies.


Chelidonium

The stools are ash colored, whitish and lumpy and with constriction is associated intense itching.


Graphites

As we all know, the constriction is mostly due to fissures in the anal cavity. Each stool means sharp, severe, cutting pain which is followed by constriction and aching for hours together.


Lachesis

It is a grand remedy. The constriction here is associated with extreme sensitiveness of the rectum due to innumerable hemorrhoidal knobs protruding therefrom.


Lycopodium

It is second to none in constriction. It is almost impossible to evacuate stools due to spasmodic constriction of the anus. Even the desire to evacuate is followed by painful contraction.


Mezereum

It needs not to be confused with Syphilinum or any other remedy as the constriction causes tearing and drawing pain not only at the anus but in the perineum as well and through into the urethra.


Natrium Mur.

It is the king amongst remedies for contraction of the rectum and constriction of the anus. There is invariably a feeling of excoriation in the anus after evacuation. The stools are dry and hard and they crumble through the fissured anus which bleeds through the effort.


Nitric Acid

Spasmodic contraction which continues many hours after stools, we have intense proctalgia and a constant oozing of fetid moisture from the fissured anus. The pain in the rectum is as if it has been torn or cut with a knife.


Nux Vomica

The constriction is associated with inactivity of the bowels. We have ineffectual desire for stools and a sensation as if more remains and could not be evacuated.


Opium

Constipation due to dryness and paresis of the entire intestinal tract; stools are like sheep’s dung.


Plumbum

Constant, neuralgic and spasmodic lead colic, in and about the navel with obstinate constipation, retraction of abdominal parities, as if a string is pulling it towards the spine.


Silicea

Constipation with hemorrhoids, fissures and cracks in anus; stools extremely hard and large, require mechanical removal.


Syphilinum

The constipation of Syphilinum is chronic and is of many years standing. This constipation is due to a kind of stricture high up in the rectum. The rectum feels as if tied up with strictures.

HEMORRHOIDS OR PILES AND HOMEOPATHY

Piles or hemorrhoids are varicose or swollen rectal veins. The veins become distended in little lumps in which the blood partially coagulates. These little lumps are called piles, and may be wholly within the rectum or protrude from it, may be bleeding or "blind" piles; the latter do not bleed. They vary in color, and are often very painful. Indolent habits, luxurious living, sedentary pursuits, the free use of stimulants, patent medicines, cathartics, diseases of the liver and sexual excesses favor the appearance of hemorrhoids. When the piles occur altogether within the anus, they are called internal piles. The-piles are also seen partly internal and partly external.

Symptoms: Streaks of bright red blood occur in the stools. There is pain on defecation, which may continue for some time after the passage of the stools. Inflamed piles are troublesome and make movement impossible. Some times, the pain extends to the testicles or bladder. Constipation always accompanies partly due to mechanical obstruction and partly due to the pain caused by the stools. Itching piles are often trouble some. In severe cases, constitutional symptoms develop with lassitude, irritability, headache, and faintness and later on bleeding causes severe anemia.

Constipation-Treatment at Home

CONSTIPATION AND ITS TREATMENT

AT HOME AND THROUGH HOMEOPATHY

What is Constipation (Qabz)

Constipation is normally considered as a routine problem in our society. In fact, the constipation is the beginning of many diseases.

Constipation is when you pass stools less often than usual, or when you are having difficulty going to the toilet because your stools are hard and small.
It is retention of the stools or inability to have a bowel movement for any reason. Constipation may be acute or chronic.

Causes of Constipation

The details of possible causes are reproduced below:

· Un-balanced or poor diet such as eating same kind of food for long time, lack of vegetables, not enough fiber in the diet, deficiency of Vitamins, too rough or dry food.
· Not enough liquids, lack of exercise, ignoring the urge to have a bowel movement
· Sitting habits, anxiety, worry, etc. lead to 'Spastic Colon'. Poor muscular tone and anemia also lead to constipation.
· Deficient activity of thyroid and pituitary gland, Catarrh of the colon, Brain tumor, etc, lead to constipation.
· Certain crude drugs such as opium iron etc; hard waters and functional inactivity of the liver cause constipation.
· Chronic constipation may lead to Hemorrhoids (Piles) and distension of colon with ulcerative condition etc.

Symptoms of Constipation:

Laziness, sadness, sleeplessness, headache, coated tongue, loss of appetite and anemia are some of the symptoms. In certain cases, the retention of the stools is followed by alternating diarrhea, which sometimes leads to wrong diagnosis.

b) The same should be repeated at morning, 15-30 minutes before going to toilet and taking breakfast.
