Diseases that cause constipation include neurological disorders,
metabolic and endocrine disorders, and systemic conditions that affect
organ systems. These disorders can slow the movement of stool through
the colon, rectum, or
anus.
Conditions that can cause constipation are found below,
Neurological disorders.
multiple sclerosis.
Parkinson s disease.
chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction.
stroke.
spinal cord injuries.
Metabolic and endocrine conditions.
diabetes.
uremia.
hypercalcemia.
poor glycemic control.
hypothyroidism.
Systemic disorders.
amyloidosis.
lupus.
scleroderma.
Problems with the Colon and Rectum.
Intestinal obstruction, scar tissue also called adhesions-
diverticulosis, tumors, colorectal stricture, Hirschsprung
disease, or cancer can compress, squeeze, or narrow
the intestine and rectum and cause constipation.
Problems with Intestinal Function
The two types of constipation are idiopathic constipation |IKI functional constipation. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) predominant symptoms of constipation is categorized jorately.
Idiopathic—of unknown origin—constipation does not (RESpond to standard inhnent. motional constipation (nuns that the bowel is y but not working Functional CONSTIpation is often the ill poor dietary habits It occurs in both (run and adults and is most common in women, Colonic inertia, delayed transit, and pelvic floor dysfunction are three types of functional constipation. Colonic inertia and delayed transit are caused by a decrease in muscle activity in the colon. These syndromes may affect the entire colon or may be confined to the lower, or sigmoid, colon.
Pelvic floor dysfunction is caused by a weakness of the muscles in the pelvis surrounding the anus and rectum. However, because this group of muscles is voluntarily controlled to some extent, biofeedback training is somewhat successful in retraining the muscles to function normally and improving the ability to have a bowel movement.
Functional constipation that stems from problems in the* structure of the anus and rectum is known as anorectal dysfunction, or anismus. These abnormalities result in aiV inability to relax the rectal and anal muscles that allow stoolj to exit.
