GERIATRIC SYNDROMES: CONSTIPATION.

CONSTIPATION AND FECAL INCONTINENCE

The etiology of diarrhea is due to various causes. We must find the problem or illness and act to stop the diarrhea because it can lead to many problems in the elderly, even death.

But if it is not treated in the elderly and it is severe, it causes loss of water, sodium, potassium ... This can lead to a drop in blood pressure affecting all organs.

The geriatrician Salvador Altimir conducted a study in the United States. The conclusions were that half of diarrhea and gastroenteritis occur in people over 75 years.

So us, as professionals, we must detect it early to prevent further complications.

We will detect if the patient usually suffers an alteration with stool or if he really suffers diarrhea.

We will check the time of the table evolution. If there are signs of dehydration, if there are parasites in their feces. And we will make a syndromic classification of diarrhea.

And we will act consequently depending on the patient's chart.
