Top-Rated Clinic Offering Constipation!

To diagnose constipation accurately, doctors begin by reviewing your medical history, including any past surgeries involving the digestive tract. They may also ask whether there is a family history of long-standing or chronic constipation.

A physical examination is carried out to assess vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. The doctor may use a stethoscope to listen to bowel sounds in the abdomen, which helps evaluate intestinal activity.

A rectal examination is commonly performed to assess muscle tone, structural abnormalities, or obstruction. In certain cases, an endoscopic examination may be advised to closely examine the anus, rectum, and colon especially when constipation is persistent, severe, or associated with warning symptoms.

At Healing Hands Clinic Chh.Sambhajinagar, doctors may also recommend specialized bowel function tests when required, including:

• Defaecography, to evaluate how effectively stool is held and passed
• Anorectal manometry, to assess the strength and coordination of the sphincter muscles

These advanced diagnostic evaluations help identify the exact cause of constipation and allow for a targeted, personalized treatment plan.

Relatively, only a small number of people require medical or surgical intervention for constipation. In most cases, constipation improves with conservative measures such as dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, correction of toilet posture, use of prebiotics and probiotics, pelvic floor muscle training, regular physical activity, and stool softeners.

For many patients in cities like Chh.Sambhajinagar, factors such as sedentary work routines, irregular meal timings, low fibre intake, and inadequate hydration play a significant role. Addressing these habits often leads to long-term relief without the need for invasive treatment.

If constipation does not improve with conservative management, further medical evaluation is required. Surgical treatment may be considered depending on the underlying cause. Broadly, constipation is classified into three major subtypes: normal transit constipation, slow transit constipation, and pelvic floor dysfunction. Surgery may be helpful in cases involving bowel obstruction, anal fissures, or rectal prolapse.

In some patients, neither dietary changes nor laxatives provide adequate relief. One such condition is Obstructed Defaecation Syndrome (ODS). When ODS is associated with structural abnormalities such as rectal prolapse, Stapled Trans Anal Rectal Resection (STARR) has shown beneficial results. The STARR procedure was introduced by world-renowned colorectal surgeon Dr. Antonio Longo and has been proven to significantly improve symptoms of constipation when performed for appropriate indications.

At Healing Hands Clinic Chh.Sambhajinagar, treatment for constipation is personalised based on detailed evaluation, ensuring that patients receive the most appropriate combination of conservative care or advanced surgical options when required.
