This article lists as one of the causes of constipation "low liquid intake". Would it not be better to say "dehydration"? It is possible to have dehydration while liquid intake is quite high. This may be the case for untreated diabetes mellitus. Vorbee ( talk) 09:50, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
Link required for Hirschsprung's disease 2A00:23C4:AA17:B200:C843:1BE:8B4C:ECF1 ( talk) 22:37, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
Firstly, I can't imagine why my fixing of an indirect link would be reverted, but I suppose that such reversions are performed hastily, taking legitimate editing in their wake. I have taken the liberty of re-doing that and marking it as a minor edit.
As for referencing, everything I've referenced is for standard medicine, and I have been careful to avoid alternative medicine sources and, also, klismaphile and other enema obsession sources I have likewise avoided.
Now I have added a reference from a state university and now the proposed sentence reads thus:
A large volume or high enema [1] can be given to cleanse as much of the colon as possible of feces. [2] [3] [4] However, a low enema [5] is generally useful only for stool in the rectum, not in the intestinal tract.
Please advise as to whether or not this is yet acceptable. If not, I'll find (yet more) legitimate sources.
I thank you. Helen4780 ( talk) 18:32, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

I believe that the part saying "constipation with no known cause affects females more often affected than males" should be corrected to "constipation with no known cause affects females more often than males" (redundant "AFFECTED" to be deleted). 89.134.199.32 ( talk) 10:45, 10 March 2019 (UTC).

Under epidemiology, in the first paragraph:
"It is more common in women, the elderly and children."
If the source is referring to people assigned female at birth, I would change "women" to people assigned female at birth, and this would apply to any other text that uses the terms "man" or "woman" to refer to someone's assigned sex at birth (what someone's sex is "identified" as at their birth like male, intersex, female, etc) 2600:4040:A034:A300:7017:9EAB:537:A5E7 ( talk) 18:32, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
It should say what the original source says
For some reason I can't change the article even though I made an account.
Rome-IV categorizes disorders of chronic constipation into four subtypes: [1]
According to ICD-11 constipation is "an acute or chronic condition in which bowel movements occur less often than usual or consist of hard, dry stools that are often painful or difficult to pass." [2] There are separate codes for functional constipation (DD91.1), functional constipation of infants, toddlers or children (DD93), atonic constipation (DD91.1), slow transit constipation (DB32.1), neurogenic constipation (DD91.1) and spastic constipation (DD91.1) as well as codes for related conditions like functional defaecation disorders (DD92.2). [2] In agreement with the Rome-IV criteria, it is not possible to have a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and functional constipation at the same time. [2]
Rome IV has widely-accepted diagnostic criteria for functional constipation (C2). For a diagnosis of functional constipation, there must be two or more of the following criteria, which must have been true for the last 3 months with symptom onset at least 6 months prior to diagnosis: [3]
According to Rome-IV, it is not possible to have both a diagnosis of functional constipation and IBS-C. [4] Related conditions like IBS-C, opioid-induced constipation and functional defecation disorders (including dyssynergic defecation) have separate diagnostic criteria.
