Title: | Constipation - Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment |
Authors: | Anthony G. Catto-Smith |
Issue Date: | 2012 |
Publisher: | InTech |
Abstract: | Constipation is common in both adults and children. Estimates would suggest a median prevalence of around 12-16% in the general population. While regarded as a minor nuisance in some cases, its consequences can be severe, with a substantial impact on quality of life. Secondary faecal soiling has a profound psychological effect at all ages. This book provides contributions from authors with a range of backgrounds which clarify the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapy of constipation for the general population and also for certain high risk groups. |
