Acute Constipation infrequent use (less than every few

weeks) of laxative is acceptable. Relieved by use of a tap-water enema or a

glycerin suppository; if ineffective, use of oral sorbitol, low

doses of diphenylmethane or anthraquinone laxatives, or saline laxative (e.g., milk of magnesia)

If laxative is required for longer than 1 week, consult a physician

Bedridden or Geriatric patients For some bedridden or geriatric patients, or with

chronic constipation, bulk-forming laxatives first line of treatment,

Use of laxatives may be required frequently. Lowest effective dose and infrequently as

possible to maintain regular bowel function (more than three stools per week).

Milk of magnesia, and sorbitol or lactulose. Mineral oil should be avoided

Patient Counseling

Laxative use to treat constipation should be only on a temporary measure

If laxatives are not effective after 1 week, a physician should be consulted

Management 1-Management of chronic constipation

due to slow transit including:

patient education

behavior modification

dietary changes

drug therapy

2-Management of defecation involves:

biofeedback

sensory training

relaxation exercises

suppository programs

Patient education: reassurance explanation of normal bowel habits reduce use of laxatives and cathartics increase fluid and fiber intake use normal postprandial increases in colonic motility

by instructing patients to defecate after meals important in the morning when colonic motor activity

is highest

What Can You Do?

Become more physically active A 30 minute walk

every day may help keep you more regular

What Can You Do? Eat more fiber

More beans, whole grains and bran cereals, fresh fruits, vegetables

Limit foods with no fiber (cheese, meat, sweets, processed foods)

What Can You Do? Fiber supplements are best choice

Absorb water and make stool softer Safe to use everyday Be sure to drink at least 8 to 10

glasses of water everyday Add to diet slowly to prevent

problems with gas

What Can You Do?

Drink more water and other liquids (8 eight-ounce glasses a day) Liquid helps keep the

stool soft Avoid caffeine or

alcohol which can dehydrate you
