chronic constipation and diarrhea
Bowel dysfunction is not a disease in itself, but rather a "warning bell".“
⚖️
A prolonged change in bowel habits (whether it's difficulty passing stool or consistently loose stools) is not normal and should not be ignored. JOMEDIXWe believe that the real treatment lies not in prescribing laxatives or antidiarrheal medications, but in searching for the "root cause" hidden behind these symptoms, which is revealed by Dr. Safwan Al-Khasawneh Using accurate diagnostic tools.
Chronic constipation: more than just "laziness"“
If you have been constipated for more than 3 months, the possible causes are:
-
•
Slow colonic transit: Weakness in the nerves and muscles of the intestines reduces their movement.
-
•
Pelvic floor problems (Outlet Obstruction): Lack of coordination in the excretory muscles, making defecation difficult despite the desire.
-
•
Mechanical obstruction: The presence of a tumor or narrowing in the intestines (this is where the importance of the endoscope lies).
Chronic diarrhea: When should you be concerned?
Persistent diarrhea lasting more than four weeks can lead to dehydration and malnutrition. Its main causes include:
1 Food allergies: Such as wheat allergy (Celiac) or lactose intolerance.
2 Inflammatory diseases: Such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
3 Chronic infection: Parasites or bacteria that have not been properly treated.
Roadmap for diagnosis and treatment
We don't begin treatment until we answer the question "Why?". Our plan includes:
-
🔬 Laboratory tests and endoscopy:
Stool and blood analysis to detect infections and malabsorption, and colonoscopy to rule out tumors and polyps.
-
🧘 Rehabilitation (Biofeedback):
For cases of functional constipation, we use special exercises to train the pelvic muscles to relax and facilitate bowel movements.
-
🥗 Dietary and drug modification:
Prescribing customized fiber, probiotics (beneficial bacteria), or modern medications that precisely regulate bowel movements.
