Introduction
Neurogenic bowel primarily manifests as constipation, bloating, and significant mood fluctuations. It generally refers to dysfunction of the central nervous system that controls intestinal activity, leading to impaired defecation function. When intestinal contents cannot be excreted normally, constipation occurs. As food accumulates over time due to neurogenic bowel, hydrogen sulfide gas may be produced.
Neurogenic bowel primarily manifests as constipation, bloating, and excessive mood swings. A detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Constipation
Neurogenic bowel generally refers to abnormalities in the central nervous system that controls intestinal function, leading to defecation disorders. This prevents normal elimination of intestinal contents, resulting in constipation.
2. Bloating
As food accumulates over time due to neurogenic bowel, hydrogen sulfide gas may be produced, causing abdominal bloating. If symptoms are mild, clockwise abdominal massage may help promote bowel movements.
3. Excessive Mood Swings
When the central nervous system remains abnormal for prolonged periods, it may cause discomfort and affect the patient's emotions, leading to significant mood fluctuations, irritability, and agitation.
In addition, other main manifestations of neurogenic bowel include diarrhea, mucus in stool, and dizziness. Patients with neurogenic bowel should follow medical advice and may use medications such as vitamin B1 tablets or trimebutine maleate tablets for treatment.
