Description of NORMACOL LAVEMENT rectal solution in adult single-dose container 130ml

Indication:

  • Low constipation (INDICATION)
  • Preparation of the rectosigmoid for endoscopic or radiological examinations (INDICATION)
  • Constipation (INDICATION_GROUP)
  • Preparation for digestive endoscopies (INDICATION_GROUP)
  • Palliative care (INDICATION_GROUP)

Whether it is occasional or persistent, constipation affects 1 in 4 people and affects women in 80% of cases.

Terminal or distal constipation: evacuation problem
It is our rectum, the last part of the intestine before the anus, that sends the signal to the brain that it is time to go to the bathroom. Indeed, our rectum distends as fecal matter arrives, and this distension is reported to the central nervous system. Then, when we are in the toilet, the brain will give the anal canal the order to relax to allow the evacuation of stool. But this mechanism is not always fully operational, and when it seizes up, we speak of terminal constipation (because it is played at the end of the digestion process). Most often, terminal constipation is caused by:

  • Lack of sensitivity of the rectum, often due to chronic constipation for too long - in these cases, terminal constipation and transit constipation coexist.
  • Anism, a distorted reflex of the anal area that causes the sphincter of the anus to close when we want it to open. which prevents the evacuation of stools.
  • Finally, prolapse or descent of organs, that is to say the fact that one or more organs of the small pelvis (bladder, uterus, vagina.) Go down because the support of the muscles and tendons of the perineal area becomes insufficient, can also cause constipation.
