  • Instruction Sheet: Constipation
    University of North Carolina Wilmington Abrons Student Health Center INSTRUCTION SHEET: CONSTIPATION The Student Health Provider has treated you for constipation. Constipation consists of a change from your usual pattern, with stools becoming less frequent and more difficult to pass. There is no set number of bowel movements a person should have each day or week. People vary widely in frequency of bowel movements, from three times a day to three times a week. Most everyone experiences constipation sometime in his/her life. Certain medicines, such as prescription pain pills, calcium antacids, calcium supplements, antihistamines, diet pills, calcium channel blockers, and diuretics (fluid pills) can cause constipation. Other factors which increase constipation include age, pregnancy, chronic laxative abuse, and a diet low in fiber. Americans, in general, consume a low fiber diet. Fiber acts as a natural laxative: Fiber draws water into the stool and increases the bulk of stools, resulting in softer stools and more rapid movement of stools through the intestine. Fiber in the diet not only minimizes constipation; fiber may prevent diverticulitis, hemorrhoids, intestinal polyps, and even cancer of the bowel. A high fiber diet is also helpful in weight control/reduction. MEASURES WHICH YOU SHOULD TAKE TO HELP TREAT AND PREVENT CONSTIPATION: 1. Drink plenty of fluids every day. Four to six glasses of water or other non-alcoholic beverage help keep stools soft. 2. Exercise daily. Even mild exercise like walking improves bowel function. 3. Consume a diet high in fiber. Fruits, vegetables, whole wheat bread, oatmeal, and bran cereal are all high in fiber.

  • Bowel Management When Taking Pain Or Other Constipating Medicine
    Bowel Management When Taking Pain or Other Constipating Medicine How Medicines Affect Bowel Function Pain medication and some chemotherapy and anti-nausea medicines commonly cause severe constipation. They affect the digestive system by: Slowing down the movement of body waste (stool) in the large bowel (colon). Removing more water than normal from the colon. Preventing Constipation Before taking opioid pain medicine or beginning chemotherapy, it is a good idea to clean out your colon by taking laxatives of your choice. If you have not had a bowel movement for five or more days, ask your nurse for advice on how to pass a large amount of stool from your colon. After beginning treatment, you can prevent constipation by regularly taking stimulant laxatives and stool softeners. These will counteract the effects of the constipating medicines. For example, Senna (a stimulant laxative) helps move stool down in the colon and docusate sodium (a stool softener) helps soften it by keeping water in the stool. Brand names of combination stimulant laxatives and stool softeners are Senna-S® and Senokot-S®. The ‘S’ is the stool softener of these products. You can safely take up to eight Senokot-S or Senna-S pills in generic form per day. Start at the dose advised by your nurse. Gradually increase the dosage until you have soft-formed stools on a regular basis. Do not exceed 500 milligrams (mg) of docusate sodium per day if you are taking the stool softener separate from Senokot-S or Senna-S generic. Stool softeners, stimulant laxatives and combination products can be purchased without a prescription at drug and grocery stores.

Course 4 Faculty Medical Poltava-2020 1. Relevance of the topic: The question of functional disorders of the digestive system in pediatric gastroenterology is now one of the most pressing. Most often, parents consult a pediatrician for abdominal pain localized in the umbilical region, bloating, poor appetite or refusal to eat. These complaints can occur in both functional and organic lesions of the digestive tract. Functional disorders are often found in the structure of pathology of the digestive system. According to a number of researchers, more than a third of patients with complaints of diseases of the digestive system, no organic disorders are detected. Namely, abdominal pain is functional in 90-95% of children, in 20% of cases diarrhea in children is also due to functional disorders. 2. Specific objectives: - To analyze the etiological and pathogenetic factors of the most common functional gastrointestinal disorders in children: cyclic vomiting syndrome, colic, functional dyspepsia, functional constipation. -Explain the principles of treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of functional gastrointestinal disorders in children: cyclic vomiting syndrome, colic, functional dyspepsia and functional constipation in young children. -To offer a differential diagnosis and make a preliminary diagnosis of cyclic vomiting, functional dyspepsia, colic and functional constipation in young children.

  • Abdominoplasty 10-4-20
    NICHOLAS T. HADDOCK, M.D. Abdominoplasty or Tummy Tuck Patient Care Instructions General Information Abdominoplasty, otherwise known as a tummy tuck, is a procedure that shapes the abdomen and waist through the removal of excess skin and fat combined with the tightening of the abdominal muscles. It helps to reverse the effects of pregnancy and/or weight gain. Dr. Haddock advises at least one night observation so that patients are comfortable and confident in their recovery after this type of surgery. Things to handle prior to your surgery Arrange for someone to drive you home from the hospital and stay with you for at least 2 to 3 days. Necessary medications will be called into your pharmacy. These should be picked up prior to surgery. Protein supplementation can be started one to two weeks before surgery and should include over 20 grams of additional protein daily. Have electrolyte containing fluids such as Gatorade or electrolyte water on hand. Have stool softeners/laxatives on hand, such as Colace, Biscodyl, Milk of Magnesia. These can be purchased at your local pharmacy. Review the attached list of medications not to take during the perioperative period. If you have any further questions that were not addressed during your consultation then please call Dr. Haddock’s nurse (Molly Mazie) at (214) 645-2353. If you are unsure if you can stop medications then please call the prescribing provider to confirm if this is medically safe. For your convenience, we have included a Suggested Shopping List in the addendum to these instructions (page 6). Pre-Operative Guidelines Smoking should be stopped a minimum of 4 weeks prior to surgery.
