Let's start with the fact that suppository suppositories or laxatives may not be needed at all. At least this statement is true if stool retention occurs only sporadically or for the first time. In such cases, you can often limit yourself to eating a sufficient amount of vegetable salad, which in turn should be seasoned with vegetable oil. Beet broth helps very well. Beets can also be eaten by adding it to salads.
But there are also such cases when the delay in stool is alarming, taking a pathological, chronic course. In this case, changes in nutrition, diets do not work, and then, quite naturally, a person resorts to laxatives. Candles for constipation, of course, are an alternative for those people who do not like pills. Of course, only the appropriate specialist can prescribe the correct treatment method.
It is possible that many parents have to deal with constipation in their children. In particular, under the age of one year, it occurs quite often. We can say that suppository candles for infants are a good solution to the problem.
Such funds not only stimulate the rectum of the child, but also produce a channel lubrication that facilitates bowel movements. Glycerin suppository candles for children, babies can be purchased at any pharmacy. Judging by the reviews of young mothers, it is glycerin candles that are most popular. At the same time, one must remember that resorting to their help should not be regularly done. A child may develop a habit, and then without candles he simply will not be able to have normal stools.
As the saying goes: "Good is what is applied in moderation!" What can be advised that candles and, in particular, children's candles from constipation bring only benefit:
- In general, any therapeutic candle is inserted by the method of introduction into the rectum. This is done once (once a day), about fifteen minutes after a morning meal.
- Suppositories for constipation (both children and adults) are not intended for prolonged use. If the receptors are constantly irritated, they lose their sensitivity, which, on the contrary, leads to an aggravation of the pathology.
- There are elementary rules that must be observed unconditionally. Do not use rectal suppositories during periods of exacerbation of such pathologies as hemorrhoids, proctitis, bleeding cracks in the corresponding area.
- It is recommended to stop using candles from constipation in case of discomfort in the anus, in particular burning, itching.
Despite the fact that every day there are more and more medicines, among them there are those that are time-tested and deserve their positive reviews. Glycerin suppositories from constipation were mentioned above. Glycerin, which is part of them, has the ability to gently affect mucosal receptors, stimulating rectal contractions. It is hygroscopic and, attracting water, helps to soften feces. Accordingly, bowel movements are facilitated.
Glycerin suppository candles are also suitable for women during pregnancy and feeding the baby after childbirth.
It should also be noted candles from constipation "Bisacodyl", which can be used for children after two years. "Bisacodyl" is used (outside periods of exacerbation) and with hemorrhoids, cracks, proctitis.
Not every person knows the difference between proctogenic and cologenic constipation. Imagine that even professionals resort to special examinations for diagnosis. Therefore, the following parting word will be entirely appropriate. Be sure to consult your doctor before starting treatment!
