Acute Constipation
Perhaps you have experienced the problem. You have a sudden stomach ache and a feeling of abdominal fullness and can’t “go” at all. Such an acutely difficult evacuation with hard stools generally doesn’t last long and is attributable to a change in the familiar pattern of life. Even so, constipation can be very unpleasant and painful. With MICROLAX® Enema, you can obtain relief, rapidly and easily.
Causes and consequences
In acute constipation, the underlying cause is often a sudden change in circumstances. Changes of diet, increased consumption of food known to induce constipation like chocolate or bananas, hormonal changes (for example, in pregnancy), travel, or immobility after an operation: all these circumstances can cause hard stools temporarily. Stomach-ache, abdominal bloating and painful evacuations is the consequence. This is why, when acute constipation strikes, people often turn to laxatives.
Frequent Constipation
Many people often have to struggle with the symptoms of constipation: flatulence, hard stools, pain during evacuation. These accompanying symptoms not only affect general well-being but also create frustration and can lead to the misuse of laxatives as well. MICROLAX® is the gentle way to solve your problem effectively and predictably.
Frequent constipation affects your well-being
Painful straining during bowel movements, an unpleasant feeling of incomplete bowel evacuation, flatulence, stomach ache and loss of appetite: these symptoms have a considerable negative effect on sufferers’ everyday lives. Feelings of shame, loss of control and helplessness take hold and many people are unwilling to venture out of the house with anxiety about unfamiliar toilets.
