Fecal Impaction Constipation Symptoms & Ways for Softening Stubborn Hardened Stools

Fecal impaction what is it? The medical terms used for specific diseases and conditions these days have people struggle to understand just exactly what it is they suffer from. It's simple however to get round this. You have a tongue in your head use it and ask who ever has given you your diagnosis to explain matters in a way you will understand the problem you have. Any approach to cure a disease with no understanding of that specific disease can cause serious complications to unfold.
For example: fecal impaction simply means a big mass of dry hard stool lodged in the rectum. Matters can get complicated from not knowing what you are dealing with. Why complicate things by holding back from saying 'Doctor what exactly is it I have and what should I expect in the way of treatment'.
Constipation in a nut shell means passing stools becomes a troublesome time for the patient, and for some people a feared time depending on how severe their constipation. They experience not passing stools as often or as easily as to what they are used too. In constipation the stool becomes hard and dry making it difficult to pass thus causing discomfort.
Fecal impaction can be the result of constipation that's been with you longer than anticipated. Even while taking laxatives. Things can worsen after withdrawing laxatives all of a sudden. It's now the muscles of the intestines struggle to do the job they are supposed to do like moving stools on their own.
Things that make a person vulnerable to severe constipation:
• You are unable to move around or do light exercise. Being sat in a chair or lay in bed for a considerable amount of time is big risk factors.
• Brain disease, even a damaged nervous system can harm nerve muscles leading to the intestines.
• Specific drugs can be responsible for slowing stool movement. Passing a stool through the bowels is sometimes near impossible due to certain drugs.
• Anticholinergics is also another problematic cause affecting the interaction of bowel nerves and muscles.
• Certain medication for treating diarrhea taken too often can cause constipation, as well as narcotic pain medicine. For instance: methadone and codeine.
Symptoms
• Stomach cramps and bloating
• Liquid drip or leaks from the back passage
• Sudden gushes of watery diarrhea
• Bleeding from back passage
• Semi-formed stools
• Straining
Other possible symptoms
• Pressure on the bladder. This causes the patient to lose control over their bladder
• Back pain in the lower region
• Rapid heartbeat or possible feeling light headed from straining when using the toilet
Noticeable changes in bowel habits will encourage your Doctor to suggest a colonoscopy to rule out colon or rectal cancer.
Treatment:
A common approach to remove the mass is to use a warm mineral oil enema. This helps soften the stool. However, an enema may not be powerful enough to remove a large hardened mass, so another way may have to be undertaken.
Previous attempts to dislodge any mass that fails--manual assistance is often endorsed. Hands are used to crumble the mass. The person assigned to treat you will insert one or two fingers into the rectum slowly massaging the mass for it to break up into manageable pieces to pass.
Suppositories are inserted into the rectum between attempts to help release the stool.
Not everyone will undergo surgery, having said that, an overly widened colon (megacolon), or complete blocked bowel is another matter where emergency removal is necessary.
Past sufferers of this condition will need a bowel retraining program. Your doctor will examine you and ask about your past diet, bowel routine, and use of medications and other medical problems in general. After all the information is gathered and checked, it will be used to help prevent future problems. Professional input will include advising you about the healthy changes you can make to your diet. Other advice will make you aware of the positives over the negatives to protecting you from further episodes.
In the first paragraph I mentioned not understanding certain matters. Do not hesitate to ask who is treating your fecal impaction. Your doctor wants to help and has all the answers. Got a question? Ask it.
