Laxative Candles

Today, both children and adults, unfortunately, face such a very delicate and at the same time quite common problem, like constipation. Lax candles that do not have contraindications even when used by children or pregnant women help cope with it. But for proper treatment of constipation, you need to find out the cause of its constipation .

Often there are alimentary constipation, for the elimination of which only a correction of nutrition is sufficient. So, when self-medication is allowed the use of a laxative, which contributes to a direct increase in the volume of what is contained in the intestine. These funds include bananas, oatmeal, sea cabbage and lactulose.

Although often constipation can be longer, it can not be handled alone. Then specialists after finding out the true cause of the disease are prescribed various drugs, which include laxatives and other medications that promote the normalization of the intestine. It should be noted that it is unacceptable to use any medication without establishing the actual cause of the disease.

During pregnancy, constipation worries almost every second woman. After all, it is during this period of life that pregnant women have problems with stool and bowel movement, which lead to impaired digestion and normal metabolism. For them, purgative candles, characterized by mild action, become simply irreplaceable. In addition, this form of medication on the fetus does not have any negative effect.

Very often constipation is observed in young children, when not only for a few days there is no stool, but the very act of defecation is very difficult. In the first case, the cause is a violation of the movement directly along the intestines of the feces, and in the second case, the fecal masses are too hard and large in diameter.

It is indisputable that laxative candles for children or enemas solve this problem quickly enough and very effectively. But self-treatment is still not welcome. After all, it is very important to find out the reason for such a condition that only an experienced specialist can do. Although it is still necessary to alleviate the condition of the child before it is established.

Before applying this or that drug to constipation, it is necessary to take into account the child's age and purpose of use. All laxative candles are divided into two types: gassing and glycerin. The first characteristic of the dissolution is to form carbon dioxide, which, in turn, stimulates the urge to act as a stool.

But the second is inherent in softening the stool and improving their excretion. It is worth noting that it is the glycerin suppositories that are ideal in their age category, so for the baby - this is the best option, since they can be used in the treatment of children under one year. The main advantage of this kind of candles is the absence (with proper use) of any side effects.

But the use of children's laxative candles for a long time is strictly prohibited. Mainly because it threatens with the appearance of allergic reactions (rash, Sgivens-Jones syndrome), drug diarrhea, enterocolitis, esophagus obstruction, intestinal obstruction and other complications.

To avoid trouble, do not self-medicate. It is better to trust a doctor who will find out the reasons after a detailed examination and examination. If you can not do without laxative candles, it is better to know in this case how to use them correctly:

• Store in the refrigerator, since soft suppositories are introduced quite difficult;

• Insert the candle as slowly and deeper as the rounded end;

• Inject the medication in a convenient position: put the child on his left side, bend his legs and fix;

• Buttocks after the introduction hold for a minute or two closed, so that the candle does not slip out.

Before using children's laxative candles, you can perform a series of procedures aimed at removing painful feelings in the child. So, many children help to relax warmly. To do this, you can either put the baby in warm water, or make him a lotion of cotton and warm water. Then the anal sphincter relaxes and feces occur.
