Stop after taking antibiotics
Antibiotics are very effective in treating many diseases, and the effect occurs very quickly. But the trouble is that their action is a massive attack on the whole body of the whole: not only bacteria caused by the disease, but also useful for our body. Moreover, it is precisely the necessary and useful to die first, and harmful mutate and quickly adapt to everything, and to antibiotics too. They can even start eating antibiotics. It is the death of a useful microflora and is the cause of constipation.
Can there be constipation after antibiotics?
The emergence of constipation after treatment with antibiotics is quite a common phenomenon, and recently it occurs even more often than diarrhea. Such a different reaction is caused by the fact that different types of antibiotics begin their effect in different departments of the gastrointestinal tract (or abbreviated the gastrointestinal tract). Usually constipation is caused by antibiotics affecting the work of the thick bowel. After all, it is in the colon that absorbing the fluid from the feet.
Negative effect of antibiotics on the intestines
Useful bacteria may die after the first reception of drugs, and the pathogenic still act for some time and inhibit the defenseless organism toxins and other products of their livelihoods. As a result, dysbacteriosis occurs, which leads, in turn, to violation of the work of the tract and the emergence of constipation or diarrhea.
How long does the constipation stop after treatment with antibiotics?
From how long the antibiotics takes place, the degree of lesion of the gastrointestinal tract and the duration of its restoration of its work depends. In addition, another number of factors have an impact: the age of the patient, the presence of strong or weak immunity has an important role to power.

If the child is breastfeeding, then it is impossible to interrupt feeding to a steady result, because the maternal milk contains the necessary enzymes in large quantities, of course, if the mother itself does not suffer from such problems. If the child is more than six months, then it is necessary to give him lactic acid products that have a short shelf life. A good effect gives the tincture of propolis, added to warm milk.
Constipation after antibiotics in adults, what to do?
In adults, a set of funds for restoring the intestinal activity more, but also time is usually required for this. This is due to the fact that adults often have a sufficiently large bouquet of various diseases, the wrong lifestyle is leading, feeding on a fast food, drinking it with gas production and do not want to do something to improve their health. To eliminate the constipation, they usually begin receiving laxatives that cause only temporary relief and only aggravate the problem. To restore your health, it is necessary, first of all, to consult with a specialist and then strictly fulfill his recommendations and not throw treatment after a small improvement.
How to treat constipation after antibiotics
To cure constipation, which is caused by the use of antibiotics, it is necessary to do what was discussed above - to restore the microflora in the intestine. For this, medical preparations containing beneficial lacto and bifidobacteria can be applied and use the methods of traditional medicine.

For the treatment of constipation use preparations of two types of action. The first stimulate the intestinal peristalsis, irritating the mucous chemicals. These include Guttalax and Mikrolax type preparations. The second type includes drugs containing volumetric intestinal fillers, they cause swelling and an increase in the volume of cartoons and help to free the intestines. These include linen seeds, wheat bran, agar-agar well acts, these are natural substances of plant origin and their use is more justified.
Folk remedies
In folk medicine, there are recipes of various braverapers and tinctures that help solve the problem with constipation. It is best to cope with this and prunes. You can still add the bark of the crash, the fruits of the anise, the root of licorice.
These tools are well used at the first stage of recovery after taking antibiotics, but then you still need to establish meals. And if you still add physical education and abdominal massage, then you can forget about the problem of constipation.
Constipation after antibiotics is a consequence of intestinal microflora. This problem occurs often. In the treatment of infectious diseases, support for the body is required as natural or synthetic antibiotics.
Thanks to such drugs, the number of malicious microorganisms is reduced, which allows you to overcome inflammatory processes.
Antibiotics make it possible to recover faster, but along with this there is a violation of the digestive tract.
Why does the constipation appear after taking antibiotics
During the reception of drugs of certain types, the part enters the circulatory system. Due to this, the destruction of malicious bacteria. Another part of the antibiotic is absorbed by the intestine.
In this case, a significant proportion of useful microflora die, and the pathogens of the microorganisms continue to be a poisoning effect, highlighting toxins. By the time their death develops dysbacteriosis. This is a certain state of the intestine, which reduces the functionality of this organ.
It is accompanied by a decrease in the amount of beneficial bacteria, which in other conditions could be natural weapons against malicious bacteria and viruses. In this case, the pathogenic microflora prevails.
As a result, food dysbiosis is poorly digested. You can expect the appearance of diarrhea.
The opposite state is constipation after taking antibiotics. In this case, immunity is reduced, the process of nutrient absorption is disturbed. Constipation can have a long time. The situation is aggravated if the taking antibiotics is carried out for quite a long time. A comprehensive approach to treatment is often used.
How to get rid of constipation
If, as a result of taking antibiotics in adults or children, dysbacteriosis developed, which is manifested by difficulties in the dishevement of carts, usually consider one of the ways of restoring the intestinal functionality or immediately all the options:
- Medical treatment. In this case, the doctor appoints enzyme preparations. In addition, it is recommended to take probiotics / prebiotics. Such means contain useful microorganisms that contribute to an increase in the amount of lacto, bifidobacteria, due to which the operation of the digestive system is gradually normalized. Probiotics and prebiotics include drugs: Linex, acilakt, bifi forms, bifidumbacterin. Enzyme-containing funds are divided into 2 groups: those that contain bile, and analogs that include enzymes. For the purpose of prescribing the latter. Popular preparations of this group: Linex, Mezim, Pancreatin, Duhalak. However, these funds cannot be taken a long period, because in this case the work of the pancreas can worsen. It is necessary to adhere to the recommendations of the manufacturer or the attending physician. An alternative solution is the reception of laxative drugs that accelerate the passage of the kalov masses by the intestine. However, it is necessary to carefully take similar means, they may have serious side effects. In addition, the laxatives do not solve the main problem associated with the violation of microflora, but act locally.
- Folk recipes. These funds also help cure constipation after antibiotics. In this case, they use their own preparation based on plants. These are natural helpers, which means for the most part they are safe for humans. But before their application, you need to consult with the attending physician. This is done so that the condition of the body does not deteriorate, since in chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract it is impossible to use aggressive products to use (garlic-based products, freshly squeezed juices, etc.). Subject to proper assignment, you can cure constipation using affordable and efficient homemade.
- Diet. When the intestine is a shortage of useful bacteria, the process of digestion of food is significantly complicated. Fermentation may occur, bloating, heartburn, etc. In addition, some dishes exacerbate the problem of constipation. For these reasons, the use of most familiar products should be avoided, because the quality of food also depends, as soon as the intestine will begin to work normally.
- Healthy lifestyle. It is understood that you need to avoid drinking alcohol. Smoking contributes to the irritation of the mucous membranes of the digestive organs, which can slow down the process of recovery.
Read more about probiotics and prebiotics
For the treatment of an adult or child, preparations containing beneficial bacteria are often prescribed. These are prebiotics. Proposed similar means are usually in the form of bodies.
Probiotics also contribute to the normalization of the intestinal operation, since the pathogenic microflora is suppressed. First, these drugs can be assigned, and then prebiotics. Then at the initial stage of acceptance, there is a decrease in the number of pathogens of microorganisms, and to normalize the work of the intestine, useful bacteria add.
There are also preparations that combine 2 functions: work as probiotics and prebiotics. Then constipation can be cured faster, since the action of substances of both species doubles.
When the number of useful microorganisms increases, the intestine begins to work more intensively, which leads to a quick release from the carte masses. Prebiotics and probiotics can take both an adult patient and a child. Only dosage and reception duration is adjusted.

need to a gastroenterologist. Kaki to pass on dysbacteriosis (they will still force, although the analysis is not very reliable). It is necessary that the doctor intelligently painted the diagram of drug reception.

Today, the enema was made twice (in the morning and in the evening), but he never squeezed, although immediately after the last enema (two days ago) began to be worried, Try to shock.

The constipation caused by the intake of antibiotics is considered frequent phenomenon.
It may arise both in children and in adult patients. With a weak manifestation of symptoms, folk recipes can be applied.
With the strengthening and occurrence of pain, you should contact a professional specialist.
The opening of antibiotics is fairly considered one of the most significant achievements of modern science. Their main purpose is the destruction of pathogenic bacteria, the perpetrators of many dangerous diseases. However, destroying pathogenic bacteria, antibiotics also destroy the useful microflora. Thus, the intestinal work is disturbed, they can occur both intestinal disorders and constipation. Stop after antibiotics occur more often in children, since the child's body is not sufficiently resistant to the effects of negative factors. In order to normalize the opening of the intestine, the intestinal microflora should be normalized and for this special attention should be paid to the power. In the diet should be attended by milk products: kefir, natural yogurt, ryazhenka. Also products of plant origin: Fresh fruits and vegetables, berries. In addition, they contribute to the restoration of the optimal microflora of the intestine probiotics and prebiotics. The choice of the drug to restore the intestinal microflora should be carried out by a doctor with regard to the characteristics of the body.

Inna asks:
Good evening!
I am 23 years old. It was observed in a gynecologist with a diagnosis of ovarian polycystosis. Hormonal means Diana 35 and Jess (every about six months). I do not accept the last six months. Ovulation in December ovulation took place. However, since October began the following problems:
October 2013. After changing the sexual partner (namely, after sexual acts), severe pain occurred during urination. (Blood was also distinguished from the urethra), itching and burning in the vagina, the feeling of dryness. I passed the tests on the STD, uroplasm, the human papille virus, cytology - everything is negative.
At the initial examination of the gynecologist, inflammation of the vagina was diagnosed. The candles of the Polizinaks and the Kanefron died. The symptoms are gone, but after sexual contacts appeared again, stronger.
When passing the tank. Sowing the vagina was sown: Enterococcus Faecalis 10 in 6, Candida Albicans 10 V 5, Escherchia Coli Hemolitica 10 in 6. Geno-Peparine (1 candle in vagina, 3 days), nastatin 3 million 5 days, fluctuations 150 mg once. Then it was necessary to drink a tannik, 5 days 1 gram.
Erosion was also injected before treatment (at the moment it is not diagnosed). During the treatment, the soda drew soda.
After the course of treatment, the symptoms decreased, but painful sensations remain in the bladder (sensation of inflammation) + more frequent urination to urine, unpleasant sensations in the vagina (I do not lead sex)
Having visited the urologist, the following diagnosis was obtained; chronic cystitis, a recessed course, the infection of the urinary system. Nephroptosis of the first degree on the right. Treatment: Flexin Soluteab 1000 mg on one tablet 2 times a day 10 days, candles Indomethacin 1 time 7 days, phytolizin 1 tea is false 3 times a day, 10 days.
In parallel, she passed a repeated tank of sowing from the vagina. After a repeated tank. Sowing the vagina did not find Enterococcus Faecalis, Escherchia Coli Hemolitica, Candida Albicans. Slowed Staphylococcus epidermidis 10 in 2 (norm)
In addition, the condition of the teeth deteriorated at the same time. On the advice of the gynecologist, a tank of sowing from Zuez (in order to eliminate Enterococcus Faecalis in the oral cavity)
Detected Staphilococcus aureus 10 in 3 and Candida Albicans 10 in 4.
At the moment, I continue to receive antibiotics appointed by a urologist and further actions offered by doctors:
1) urologist. Continue the course of antibiotics. After 1 month from the end of the end, pass the tank. Sowing urine. In parallel to occur in the gynecologist.
2) gynecologist.
Gynecologist advises to pass the tank. Sowing from the vagina after menstruation again, to purchase the Clean Point or Beautiful Life tampons.
Also injections of Echinacea to restore immunity. (I do)
Question:
1) Monthly should have come on 9.02.14. While they are not. Whether antibiotics affect it?
2) In addition, is it necessary to pass the feces on dysbacteriosis and generally restore the flora after taking antibiotics? Popps, pain in defecation are noted.
3) Is it necessary to treat Staphilococcus aureus, Candida Albicans in the oral cavity? What doctor to contact? Could the bacteria cause inflammation of the gums and plaque?
4) How to restore immunity in this situation? What recommendations for further treatment could you give?
p.S. Against the background of this whole situation, there was strong stress and overwork.
Thank you very much in advance!
Replies Wild hope Ivanovna:
1. If there is a delay of menstruation, do a pregnancy test and ultrasound. In addition, the delay is possible due to the presence of polycystic ovaries or lack of minerals, vitamins .....
2. Dysbacteriosis is possible. If you have the opportunity to examine.
3. The infection must be treated, wherever it is. But, I have a question: why is the intestinal microflora - in the vagina and the oral cavity? Sex features? A man has passed a course of treatment? It should be treated in parallel with you. Have you surrendered an anti-HIV on HIV, RV?, Hepatitiv, C, common. Yan. Krovi, blood sugar, coagulogram? I recommend to be examined and becomes clear from whom to be treated and the volume of treatment.

Dear Olga, start with the usual full-time consultation of the proctologist, moreover, you may need an ultrasound of the abdominal organs, blood test for amylase, feces on dysbacteriosis and coprogram. Perhaps after inspection, additional studies of the colon function will be needed, but it will be able to say the doctor after a full-time inspection.

Good day. After receiving antibiotics, at least this considers the therapist I have the following situation. I got over in February ARVI accepted antibiotics for 5 days. Painted from 5 to 12 February. And in March, I noticed that in the morning I go to the toilet normally and after the feeling as it was not fully.

Without a full-time inspection and additional studies (fibrocolonoscopy, compacting pneumocosometry for determining the functional features of the rectum, sowing a feather on dysbacteriosis) I can't answer this question. If the question is, faithful is the treatment for you, I can't answer this question, because I do not know the diagnosis about which is prescribed treatment. It will correctly seem for a full-time consultation to a proctologist or at least to the gastroenterologist.

Asks Veronica:
Good afternoon, dear experts!
Answer, please, to the question.
6-7 years ago I was treated from Helicobacter, surface gastritis, gastroduodenitis (analysis - by FGDS) antibiotics.
And before treatment and after disturbed pain in the stomach, rash on the fingers and legs.
After treatment, rash is still sometimes appeared, the pain in the stomach rarely, but also attended. Hearts never happened.
2-3 times pronounced rash. And the other day they literally appeared "familiar" pain in the stomach. There are no constipation, the intestine does not bother, there is no acne on the face (before the treatment, the face was covered strongly and was the reason for the start of treatment). A rash appeared on his hand and passed overnight - this is a reaction to some food. Previously (before treatment, and some time after) there was the same, but the rash was hacked very much, was held for a very long time.
I decided to pass the tests again on the bacteria 13.02.2014. But in the laboratory did not warn that the analysis is high-quality. The number (as previously FGDS) bacteria does not show.
The result of the analysis is now - the antigen is detected, the reference values \u200b\u200bare not detected.
How to interpret? Does this mean that bacteria is in the gastric mucosa and intestines?
What test tests can still be done (maybe blood on an IgG, a breathing test) to understand how many bacteria is now in the stomach and do you need to coffin the body with antibiotics? Last time, a lot of strength and money went to restore the body after treatment ...
I also passed the feast of 8 years on the same bacterium. The result was not detected. But: It is sometimes worried about the stomach (pain pass after meals), an unpleasant smell of mouth, rash rarely on hand (the same as me). Do I need to be tested yet?
I'm not sure about laboratory answers.
Do I understand the right and quantitative analysis correctly? Is it a purely quality analysis?
Is the fact that repeated infection of the bacterium does not occur after treatment with antibiotics?
Thanks for the answer!
Replies Ventsovskaya Elena Vladimirovna:
Analysis on a fecal antigen is quite informative, especially since a lot of time has passed after the completion of treatment. Repeated infection is possible. To resolve the issue of treatment, you should preferably make FEGDS and come to inspection to your gastroenterologist. As for the child, you need to refer to the children's gastroenterologist or pediatrician.

Unfortunately, you have not written the question. But in your situation it is advisable to contact the Gastroenterology clinic and go through a full-fledged targeted examination. As for the replacement of colonoscopy on MRI, then when the colonoscopy can be taken a biopsy (if necessary) and, perhaps the doctor thought about this study.
