Sinceconstipation is caused by a disorder in the digestive system, its symptoms are directly visible there. Constipation is most often accompanied by

  • by abdominal discomfort,
  • cramps,
  • bloating,
  • and a sensation of heaviness in the intestines.

Stools are harder and less voluminous, and evacuation is incomplete. In some cases, constipation may be accompanied by the passage of loose stools, known as “false diarrhea.”
In any case, if the symptoms persist for more than six months, the condition is considered chronic constipation rather than occasional constipation, which requires a change in treatment and management.

Description of Cristal Glycerin Suppositories for Adults

Glycerin suppositories induce rapid evacuation of the rectosigmoid colon by triggering the defecation reflex. Bowel movement occurs within 5 to 30 minutes after administration.

Glycerin (in the form of suppositories for adults) stimulates peristaltic movements and reduces water reabsorption due to its osmotic and hygroscopic properties. It also has a mild local irritant effect that contributes to the reflex defecation.
