In the womb, the child just loses water. But at birth, starts to sweat, your kidneys expel more liquid than before, and the intestines were empty for the first time.

Constipation

The constipation is characterized by a delay pronounced in the normal exhaustion of the feces; ésto generally causes, an expulsion of hard and dry feces, accompanied by a certain difficulty defecatoria, with the bothersome sensation of a partial or incomplete exhaustion. The lawsuits that originate the constipation can be multiple and in occasions, very complex, due to that which you can select to the constipation in two groups: the functional constipation, and the secondary constipation.

In the case of the functional constipation, or also bare or habitual compound number, is characterized because the patient that suffer it doesn't enter any organic alteration or illness that I/you/he/she can unchain it. It can show up in all the ages and in to, bos sexes, although you seem to be much more frequent in the woman that in the man. You are observed with great fecuencia in several members of oneself family, without your genetic transmission can be demonstrated; that that in fact is inherited they are the acquired habits regarding the genus of life and to the power supply.

The origin of a constipation of this class, it can be due to different factors. In the case of a symptomatology of certain neurotic reactions or neurotic (crisis of hysteria) psico it can lack fecal evecuación during two or three weeks. In the event of patients with rest extended in bed, dehydration, prolonged use of laxatives, sedative medications; the most frequent lawsuits in constipation are the not well made diets or the ullage of regularity in the sedimentations for bad habits.

The not well made diets produce the alimentary constipation, caused practically by alimentary régimes without residual cellulosic, with the help of white flours, flesh and fishes. These diets give place to the scarce formation of fecal materials that you/they are the excitant ones physiologic of the intestinal peristalismo. In these chaos, if they are set up the patients a rich diet in residual celolósicos, with the help of vegetables and fruits, your constipation disappears quickly.

The treatment of the bare constipation, in general lines, you should be based on deleting the fear that the patient experiences when not making a daily deposicioón. To make you understand that they exist many people that evacuate each two, three four days, without ésto causes you the minimum nuisance. To recommend you that when you note the desire to evacuate, you don't cancel it neither you postpone it for more opportune moments, because, with the time, you bring it I get a decrease or annulment of the normal reflection of defecation. You are to make the person that suffer a constipation of this type note that the control of the exhaustion only debit side to be good to be able to arrive until the most proximate toilet; the habit of controlling the exhaustion while waiting for more opportune moments is the lawsuit that originate most of the constipations.

To correct an etsreñimiento, you have great importance the one that the diet is very directed and you contain foods with cellulosic excessive remains. You are to remember the volume of the fecal matters you are always an intense peristaltógeno of the intestinal mucosa. They are also beneficial the cold drinks, the butter or margarine, the sugar and the honey.

Diarrhea

You are named diarrhea to the expulsion of feces of liquid or doughlike consistency, generally associated to an increase in the number of the sedimentations throughout 24 hours.In the diarrhea eciste always an acceleration of the intestinal transit, associating in having determined cases an intestinal faulty absorption and even an exaggerated hypersecretion of your mucous glands. Now then, an acceleration of the transit of the small intestine can exist if diarrhea. You are it due to an offset on the part of the colon that can raise the time of permanency of the fecal materials, until your due dehydration in that. From the clinical point of view, we can classify the diarrheas in three big groups: dummy diarrheas, acute diarrheas and chronic diarrheas.

In the dummy diarrheas, when describing the jam fecal, determined types of constipation they can cause an expulsion of feces of doughlike or liquid consistency, with increase of the number of the sedimentations, what could be confused with a diarrhea.

The acute diarrheas, are characterized by your sharp presentation in totally healthy people. Not they have anything of specific, since they can be many the lawsuits that provoke them. The acute diarrhea generally takes place for the food intake in malas conditions: already for bacterial toxins in the same ones, already for bacterial contamination. In other occasions, you are the same energy the one that can be toxic, as the ingestion of certain species of mushrooms. For some patients, the allergy toward having determined foods can be the unchaining lawsuit d euna acute diarrhea. Finally, we should also remember that an excessive power supply with the help of irritating foods or of excess of drinks, it can be the lawsuit of an acute diarrhea.

When the lawsuit of the diarrhea has been the food intake in mala conditions, the first symptoms appear at the few hours of having ingested them, being noted general uneasiness, with sensation of tightness inside the abdomen. Later, pains appear in retorcijo form, indigestion sensation, frequent eructation, with repetition d ela eaten constituent of the diarrhea, accompanied by a revolting state and even of vomits. Little depsués, the patient notes you win imperious of evacuating and you make it ejecting great quantity d egases, with doughlike feces at the beginning and flowed later, of very bad odor.

In the light cases, the vomits disappear quickly, but I didn't seize the pains coliculares and the desires of to evacuate that persist during 24 or 48 hours, ending up making up to 10-12 up-to-date sedimentations. The general state doesn't usually lose temper.

In the cases of average graveness and in the serious ones, the general state loses temper. Fever that he/she can go appear preceded of intense chills. The pains in retorcijón form are almost made contínuos, and the number of sedimentations, abundant, being ejected at the end some totally watery and odorless feces. This produces a great dehydration, with forfeiture of weight that oscillate between the 8 and 12 kilograms.

In the serious cases, the face is sharpened, coldness of the extremities, the pulse exists you become dilatory and taquicárdico, with great trend to the colaspo. If the diarrheal box persists, very annoying cramps can appear in the calves and the patient case stops to urinate. The number of sedimentations can be so considerable that neither the sick person neither the relatives know how many you have made in the 24 hours; you generally take place a great irritation of the rectum and of the anus that determine some continuing and very annoying desires of having to evacuate continually.
