At least once in my life, but I had to deal with constipation to everyone. It is good, if problems with defecation are rare and will soon go by themselves. But there are people who suffer from chronic constipation . This problem seriously poisons life. Cope with it without the help of laxative candles is almost impossible. You can buy such suppositories in any pharmacy. A wide range will allow you to choose the most suitable candles for anyone.
Types of constipation and rectal laxative candles
Of course, few know about it, but in fact, constipations are of two main types:
- proctogenic;
- of the cologene.
Cologne constipation develops against a background of sluggish tonus of the intestinal walls, due to scarring, damage and tumors. In this case, stool masses stop, not reaching the rectum.
A more common reason for using laxative candles is constipation of proctogenic nature. In this case, the stool moves unimpeded to the anorectal zone, but stops there. Various factors can contribute to the development of proctogenic constipation:
- a decrease in the sensitivity of the receptors of the rectum;
- hemorrhoids ;
- weakening of rectum muscles.
Since candles with a laxative effect work exclusively in the rectum, their use with a cologne constipation is completely not justified. And accordingly, they can be really useful suppositories only with proctogenic constipation.
There are two main types of candles:
- Gas-forming suppositories help with constipation, arising against the background of suppression of urge to excrement. Getting into the intestines, the candle begins to act - carbon dioxide is formed, which irritates the intestinal wall and thereby improves its motor activity.
- Glycerin suppositories irritate the walls of the rectum, thereby stimulating bowel movement. In addition, suppositories contribute to the softening of stool. They act so gently that such candles are allowed to treat constipation to women during pregnancy and during lactation.
Which laxative candles are better?
Selection of laxative suppositories is carried out on an individual basis. But there are a few candles, which, as shown by practice, operate without fail in almost any case:
- One of the most popular means is Bisacodyl . These candles not only stimulate the reduction of the rectum, but also affect the production of intestinal mucus, which is necessary to envelop the stool and remove them from the body without problems. These purgative candles are indicated for hemorrhoids, proctitis and the presence of anal fissures.
- Evakya - candles based on sodium bicarbonate, potassium bitartrate and polyethylene glycol - one of the coolest representatives of the group of gas-forming suppositories. Evakue has a triple action: it stimulates the motor activity of the rectum, softens and dilutes the stool masses. This laxative candles are quick action, and the effect of their application comes in a few minutes.
- Relief - a modern drug that best helps with episodic constipation. Treatment of chronic problems with defecation of medicament is given with difficulty.
- Another fast-acting laxative is Glycelax suppositories . Suppositories are prepared on the basis of glycerol. The remedy is shown for painful forms of hemorrhoids, cracks in the anal passage, anorectal stenosis.
As with most other drugs, laxative suppositories can not be used regularly. Stop treatment immediately after the normalization of the stool. Otherwise, the use of candles will not be effective enough.
