Spastic colitis

Spastic colitis-also known as

Abdominal pain is episodic and often worsens after eating or cold drinking. It decreases after defecation. Those with diarrhea are mostly mushy and may contain mucus, but no pus or blood will occur. Diarrhea usually occurs early and around dinner, and is anxious. Some are mainly for constipation, and some are alternate for diarrhea and constipation. The biggest difference from inflammatory bowel disease is that there are no organic lesions in the intestine. However, irritable bowel is often associated with mental factors. Anxiety and mental stimulation can induce or exacerbate symptoms.

The site of the disease is mainly around the umbilicus and the left lower abdomen. Clinical symptoms often appear from time to time, but they can be relieved after venting or defecation; diarrhea or constipation, or both. Stools often carry a little mucus, but there is very little blood in the stool. When constipated, stools are hard like sheep droppings. Or water samples were taken several times a day, but there was no obvious abdominal pain and discomfort. Some of these patients with colon dysfunction develop after dysentery, acute enteritis, or nonspecific colitis.

Intestinal dysfunction is a common disease in the elderly. People will feel lack of appetite, physical burnout, general weakness and even a psychological burden. Due to the discomfort and pain caused by colonic dysfunction, elderly patients are often nervous, causing spastic constipation or frequent stools, abdominal pain and the discharge of a large amount of mucus. At this time, it is called mucocolitis, but there is no inflammation. This disease is more common in the elderly, which is mainly due to the decline of organ function in the elderly, poor teeth, poor chewing ability, decreased gastric acid and digestive juice secretion, and reduced digestive function. In addition, the elderly often suffer from atrophic gastritis, diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, colon diverticulum, ischemic colitis, colon tumors, and vitamin B deficiency, etc., thus increasing the chance of causing colonic disorders.
