About the Webinar
Chronic constipation is a common condition affecting approximately 1 in every 10 individuals worldwide. While criteria exist for making the diagnosis, there are multiple different forms of constipation. In most instances, individuals will cycle through at least 3 over-the-counter medications before seeking medical care. Further care often includes using individual prescriptions or combination therapies. Despite the availability of medications to treat constipation, a significant percentage will fail to respond. In this presentation, Dr Darren Brenner, MD, FACG, AGAF, RFF, discusses the different types of constipation and outlines diagnostic tests and treatments available for refractory constipation. Dr Brenner addresses when these tests should be performed, and why standard laxative therapy fails. He also discusses newer, non-pharmacologically based treatments for chronic constipation.
