Constipation |New syllabus | Human digestive system | Biology 10th Class |Chapter 01 | Lecture 09

[00:00:00]Bismillah Rahman Rahim. Assalam Walekum dear students. Our lecture today is in continuation of the previous lecture in which we discussed disorders of digestive system and the first disorder we discussed was diarrhoea. Now the reverse of diarrhea or let's say the opposite of diarrhea is constipation, son. Now what happens in constipation is lack of bowel movement. There is no bowel movement. The request for washroom is not getting generated.

[00:00:32]In diarrhea you read that there is a loose bowel movement and as a result stools are produced.

[00:00:41]How were stools produced? stool.

[00:00:44]But what is happening here son is that you have frequent constipation. The word frequent was used there.

[00:00:51]What word would you use here?

[00:00:53]Infrequent bowel movements. Ok? There was loose bowel movement and what words should we use here, what will happen in this case, son, in this case, the facets are difficult to remove or eliminate from the body, it becomes difficult to remove the waste material from the body due to constipation.

[00:01:28]Now what are his reasons? What are its causes? Like you read the causes there. First we read its causes. Then we move towards its signs and symptoms. Son, the reasons for this are lack of water. You drink less water, son.

[00:01:44]Ok?

[00:01:47]You reduce your intake of water.

[00:01:54]Drink very little water.

[00:01:57]What happens to you as a result? Constipation: Whatever little water is present in your intestine, your body absorbs it. As a result, the large intestinal contents get converted into solid form instead of semi-solid form. They become hard.

[00:02:10]It is difficult to remove from the body. Good. What other causes could there be now? Son, you eat food which does not contain dietary fibres. What is not there in it?

[00:02:22]Now dietary fibers are found in plant foods. What are dietary fibers in?

[00:02:26]Plant.

[00:02:27]And you eat animal food, eat meat. Are you getting the point? If you eat animal food, it contains 0% dietary fibers.

[00:02:34]Dietary Fibers in Animal Food. But if you eat plant foods, dietary fibers are present in them. Are you understanding this? Well, this means son, lack of fibres, lack of dietary fibres, that is not there in your food.

[00:02:54]Ok? Apart from this, you are using any medicine which is reducing your intestinal motility or which requires more water intake. Ok? There are various iron supplements and calcium supplements. This causes constipation.

[00:03:11]Ok?

[00:03:15]Often small children suffer from constipation because they drink only milk. And does milk come from plants or animals?

[00:03:22]From Animal. So that's animal food. Therefore it does not have fiber in it. So what do doctors recommend? Feed Cyrille. Feed rice or wheat based sirilak to children. This is what happens, right? What's in it? There are fibers.

[00:03:35]What's in it? There are fibers.

[00:03:39]Cellulose fibers are basically dietary fibers which you also studied in ninth class, which are not digested inside your body, they pass through your intestine as it is.

[00:03:48]Well, you are using some special type of medicine.

[00:03:52]As I told you, there is an iron supplement, there is a calcium supplement. Ok? You are using these things because of mineral or iron deficiency.

[00:04:03]You may also get it because of that. Apart from this, there are many other medicines which can cause constipation.

[00:04:08]Ok? It's not a big deal.

[00:04:10]Now if he does not go to the washroom for many days, we say that this person is suffering from constipation. If, son, this request to empty the bowel movement, this movement, this frequency, becomes weak at less than three times. If you need to go to the washroom three times or less than three times in a week, then we can ask him what is the matter with this guy? There is constipation. Then it depends whether there is any medical condition or not. Is it possible that there is a cyst inside his intestine? There is a blockage. Is it a case of acute constipation or chronic constipation?

[00:04:53]He is not suffering from constipation due to that disease.

[00:04:55]Which is a disease specifically related to the digestive system. It is not because of that. Like I taught you diarrhea. There is a disease in it called Irritable Bowel Syndrome IBS, in that there is diarrhea, diarrhea is there all the time, it is not treated, the poor patient gets tired of getting treatment for 10-15 years, so in the same way, any medical condition can be there in constipation, okay now what are the signs and symptoms, abdominal discomfort, abdominal, these are the signs and symptoms that will come, abdominal pain can also happen.

[00:05:40]Ok? Similarly, bloating can also occur. Well, the longer the waste material remains in your intestine, the number of microorganisms will keep increasing. The number of micro organisms in it will keep increasing. Ok? So there may be some other infection or some other disease along with it.

[00:06:01]Apart from this, what else do we have, son?

[00:06:04]What can we say about it? There may be signs and symptoms of constipation. This is the main thing. Ok?

[00:06:13]You may experience bloating, abdominal pain, and tenderness. The doctor touches the stomach to check if it is bloated. It is not very strict.

[00:06:20]Ok? It depends on how many days it has been since you went to the washroom. I have been suffering from constipation for so many days.

[00:06:24]So these are his signs and symptoms. What is the treatment now?

[00:06:30]In treatment, son, we give laxatives and such medicines which increase intestinal motility and go into the intestine and cause bulk formation.

[00:06:39]Like you use the peel of this round etc. Do you do it? Why? Because it goes and increases your intestinal content. As a result, an impulse is generated from your brain to empty the bowl.

[00:06:52]Ok? You should eat such food which contains son, what? Have dietary fibers. What's inside it?

[00:06:59]These will also receive the same treatment. This will be included in treatment as well as prevention, that if you want to avoid these in future, then what kind of food should you use? Should I use animal food or plant food? You should use plant food, son. Did you understand this?

[00:07:14]Good. Similarly, what else can happen is that if you have an infection etc. then you can also use antibiotics etc. But this is not the case in this case.

[00:07:26]Mostly only and only negatives, purgatives and cathartics in the market. These are the three groups of medicines that we use.

[00:07:36]Depending upon the severity of the disease, how severe the constipation is. There are medicines like laxatives which help in passing normal stool. Purgatives will cause slight irritation. The patient will feel abdominal discomfort but will be able to go to the washroom. There will be stomach cramps but you will be able to go to the washroom.

[00:07:54]But cathartics are serious medications that can only treat severe constipation.

[00:08:01]They have to start intestinal motility in any case. In that, whatever is inside the intestine may get injured or there may be a wound inside the intestine. Ok?

[00:08:14]He has to get that hard fishy stool eliminated from the body. Ok?

[00:08:19]So in that case the patient feels more discomfort.

[00:08:22]So these are the three groups.

[00:08:24]Most of the treatments are done through these.

[00:08:26]Ok? And lastly, son, is prevention. Same things in prevention, what will you use?

[00:08:33]High fiber.

[00:08:34]Use a high fiber diet. Ok? And along with a high fiber diet, you should also drink plenty of water. Drink water. Ok?

[00:08:44]Drink as much mineral water as you can. It is summer these days.

[00:08:46]Every person suffers from dehydration.

[00:08:49]You keep sweating. I keep sweating. It also becomes dry at the same time. So we think maybe we're not sweating.

[00:08:54]We are not sweating while sitting under the fan.

[00:08:55]But as it comes, it dries up as well. Ok? So in that we remain dehydrated. So due to dehydration many problems arise in our son.

[00:09:05]Some people start having headaches every evening.

[00:09:07]Such headaches start in summer. They say it may be due to heat stroke caused by the heat.

[00:09:12]Mostly you got dehydrated. I am dehydrated. Your brain cells are 80% water. Ok? And as soon as dehydration occurs, the water level will drop. Whatever you have, you will start having headache. You should try drinking water. If someone has a headache, he should drink as much water as possible. Ok? And nowadays whatever water is available, drink that lemon water. Ok?

[00:09:32]Add salt to it and drink it so that your salt deficiency is also fulfilled.

[00:09:39]Son, you have page number nine.

[00:09:40]Constipation is a condition in which fishes are not eliminated from the body at the regular interval. What are the signs and symptoms?

[00:09:46]Infrequent or difficult bowel movement Less than three times a week Hard and dry stools Abdominal discomfort and bloating What are the causes? Lack of fibers in the diet Dehydration Lack of physical exercise As well, if we do not do physical exercise, due to that also certain medications such as pain killers and iron supplements Other diseases are diabetes or apart from this I told you that any tumor related disease can occur. There may be some other concomitant disease.

[00:10:13]What is the treatment? Increasing fiber intake: Fruits, vegetables, whole grains. Well, you should eat the fruit along with its peel. Now it is not that you eat bananas and then eat their peels along with them.

[00:10:22]Ok? As you eat apple, eat it with the peel. Ok? If you are eating any vegetables, carrots, or cucumbers, do not peel them. Actually, it contains water and is also full of fibres. Ok? Ok? Those who have intestinal issues definitely eat salad. All the components in salad are based on fiber. Drinking plenty of water Regular exercise Use medicines as prescribed by doctor.

[00:10:54]What is prevention? Eating a high dietary fiber or high-fiber diet Drinking plenty of fluids. Son. So till here your constipation is complete. Even if any child has any question, son, you can ask in the comment section. Thank you.

[00:11:06]Allah Hafiz.
