Abstract
Just like the vast majority of diseases, constipation is now associated with civilization and urbanization. According to epidemiological data, up to 30% of the adult population of economically developed countries suffer from this nosology, among which women predominate. It is known that only one of four patients suffering from stool retention visit a specialist. The rest confine themselves to the advice of friends, reading of popular medical literature or consulting a pharmacist at the pharmacy. Thus, only 25% of our patients receive medical care (we cannot talk about quality, nevertheless, the care is medical), and 75%, as a rule, only periodically try to set off this condition. Constipation is dangerous as it may cause the development of complications: secondary colitis, proctosigmoiditis, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, paraproctitis and the most threatening disease – colorectal cancer. Therapy for constipation should first begin with lifestyle changes. The irritating agents that enhance secretion are the drugs that are most frequently used, because they very quickly and reliably achieve the effect. Thus, among the most commonly used and effective ones are sodium picosulfate (Regulax®) preparations.
