Natural Treatments for Constipation Relief

September 23, 2009 Constipation No Comments

Although constipation can affect anyone, it’s more common in women and in people over age 65. It also tends to occur during pregnancy, after childbirth or surgery, with certain medications such as opioid pain relievers, and with some conditions such as multiple sclerosis.

Natural Remedies for Constipation

A diet low in fiber may play a role in constipation. Insoluble fiber, which passes through the body almost unchanged, gives stools bulk and a soft texture, making them easier to pass.

Constipation treatments and drugs

April 28, 2009 Constipation, Featured No Comments

Constipation is a common gastrointestinal problem. People who experience constipation have infrequent bowel movements, pass hard stools or strain during bowel movements.

What’s considered normal frequency for bowel movements varies widely. In general, however, you’re probably experiencing constipation if you pass fewer than three stools a week, and your stools are hard and dry.

Fortunately, most cases of constipation are temporary. Simple lifestyle changes, such as getting more exercise and eating a high-fiber diet, can go a long way toward alleviating constipation. Constipation may also be treated with over-the-counter laxatives.

Hemorrhoid and Pregnancy

March 14, 2010

Because of the pressure exerted by the growing fetus on the hemorrhoidal veins, pregnant women are highly susceptible to developing hemorrhoids. Increased levels of the female sex hormones can also weaken vein walls to make them more prone to hemorrhoids. Furthermore, constipation due to poor diet and insufficient exercise can also aggravate hemorrhoids during pregnancy.

For some women, hemorrhoids can also develop during labor due to intense pushing. For others, complications after delivery can also lead to hemorrhoids. For example, vaginal and perianal tenderness may cause some women to postpone bowel movements, which leads to constipation and hemorrhoids.
