Do you live with chronic constipation?

• April 25, 2024

If it sounds familiar, events like: going to the bathroom every week or two, feeling abdominal swelling , headache , fatigue and feeling that "you have more weight", then you could suffer chronic constipation .

According to Constipation Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines in Mexico, the chronic constipation is a functional gastrointestinal disorder with an evolution of at least three to six months, characterized by infrequent evacuations.

At a press conference, the doctor Miguel Ángel Valdominos , points out that this condition affects more women in an approximate proportion of 2 to 3 women for each man:

"It can occur at any age and is multifactorial: genetics, low water and fiber consumption, lazy intestines, etc."

Those who live with chronic constipation not only suffer physiologically, but also emotionally, where it is common for women to have episodes of anxiety , depression and, on occasion, decrease in sexual desire

"Patients with this disorder affect their work performance and their social relationships are also damaged, because they are isolated, they are bad and their quality of life decreases".

In this regard, the gastroenterologist Valdominos clarifies that it is very important that people go with the doctor to be treated, since the consumption of laxatives could harm their health and is only a momentary effect.

In this sense, the pharmaceutical Janssen launches a new product, called Resotrans , of 14 tablets and with an approximate cost of 300 pesos, promises to improve the peristaltic movements and finish with the chronic constipation .
