Constipation Pain – How To Stop It

The only real way to treat constipation pain is by treating the area that the pain is coming from. Constipation can cause so many different pains in different areas of your body that it’s hard to be specific about it. For example, a headache can be a part of being constipated. If you have one of these headaches, you would most likely reach for a bottle of aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen to try to get rid of it. However, since this IS a constipation induced headache, these remedies may not work at all. In fact, they may work to actually make your situation worse overall.

A constipation pain that you will notice first of all may be abdominal cramping much like you may have when you get the urge to have a bowel movement. The difference between the normal urge pains and a pain such as this is that it will most likely not be relieved by trying to move your bowels. There is also the pain associated with trying to pass the bowel matter that is too hard. It simply will not pass without a lot of straining on your part. This can also be a terribly intense constipation pain.

Lower backaches and /or side pains may be present when you are constipated. These are usually localized on the left side of the body and caused by bowel material being backed up in your colon. Pushing on your abdomen may cause some of this matter to evacuate but most likely you will have to push very hard with your rectal muscles to get any of out. This is not only dangerous but will cause painful hemorrhoid issues later.

While these are the more prevalent regarding constipation pain, they are by no means the only discomfort that is suffered. Feeling bloated as well as a general feeling of sluggishness and tiring easily are also other signs that affect a person who is constipated. None of these are pleasant, especially walking around feeling as if you are carrying a bowling ball in your lower abdomen. Therefore, it is much wiser to begin treating this condition before it gets too far along.
