Disruption of the intestine is a frequent occurrence in those who are stressed and have an unhealthy diet. One of the most frequent abnormalities in the work of this organ is called "atony" - the loss of muscle tone, which leads to constipation.
You can treat the disease in many ways - as a rule, it takes no more than a month to normalize muscle tone with the help of medications and the right diet. But these classical methods of treatment are effective only if you eliminate the causes of atony, among which can be:
- sedentary lifestyle;
- frequent stress;
- ration rich in coarse dry food;
- eating large portions;
- bad habits - smoking, alcoholism;
- endocrine disorders - hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
If these factors are not eliminated, then the atony after the treatment will arise again, because the drugs are aimed at eliminating the symptoms.
How to treat atony of the intestine?
Treatment of intestinal atony should be complex, in order to lead to a positive result. Depending on the duration of atony and the neglect of the process, different medications are prescribed for different strengths.
If the atony arose recently, then folk remedies and homeopathy are shown. If the atony lasts a long time, then preparations are shown that improve peristalsis and weaken the stool.
Regardless of how long atony lasts, a special diet, rich in liquid dishes and fiber, proves its effectiveness at all stages.
Atony of the intestine - treatment with folk remedies
To relax the stool with atony of the intestine, various folk remedies are used. The simplest of them is the intake of vegetable oil by 1 tbsp. 3 times a day. It does not eliminate the problem of muscle tone disruption, but facilitates defecation, the delay of which also contributes to atony.
Another simple means - a glass of warm water in the morning on an empty stomach 30 minutes before breakfast. It starts the work of the digestive tract, replenishes the lack of water and prevents constipation.
Also, the decoction of the buckthorn bark can be attributed to the folk method of treating intestinal atony. Its pharmacological action directly affects the problem of atony, because antraglikozidy cause irritation of the receptors of the intestinal mucosa and this contributes to an increase in muscle tone. The laxative effect occurs within 8 hours after ingestion.
Treatment of intestinal atony with homeopathic preparations
To eliminate atony in homeopathy, the Nuks vomica-Homakord preparation of the German firm Heel is used, which has long proved the effectiveness of its preparations.
Nux vomica-Homaccord is used for general gastrointestinal disturbances, including constipation and inflammatory processes. The drug has a purifying effect on the body with the help of nuks vomica, bryonia and colocyntitis.
Preparations for intestinal atony
When atony intestines are treated with laxatives, and if the problem is caused by a violation of any organ of the gastrointestinal tract and is associated with poor digestion of food, then medicines are added to the laxatives (for example, medication with enzymes, Festal, Mezim, is prescribed for poor assimilation; dysfunction of the bile ducts - Hofitol, etc.).
If atony is caused by disturbances in the emotional sphere - constant stresses, then sedatives are added to laxatives (Sedativ PC, Adaptol, etc.).
The following modern laxatives are used for intestinal atony:
- Guttalax;
- Regulax;
- Agiolax;
- Mukofalk.
Diet with intestinal atony
During the illness, you need to develop a meal regimen, and also include hot first courses in the diet. Nutritionists do not recommend taking similar soups with mashed potatoes and any finely divided food, as this worsens peristalsis. Every day you need to consume a sufficient amount of fluid to normalize defecation.
To improve the tone of the muscles of the intestine, the diet should be rich:
- dairy products - cottage cheese and yogurt;
- fruit;
- cereal cereals;
- vegetables - sauerkraut, zucchini, pumpkin, cucumbers.
