What Causes Constipation?

I am a 75 yr.old,5ft.3 and a little overweight, I have been diagnosed with Eschemia in July 2o 2011 by a colon Dr.He said I should stay Hydrated take a baby asperin and a colesterol pill daily. He sent me to a surgeon who said he did not want to operate as I have no symtoms. I have found that since I take the Baby Asperin I am constantly constipated, I am also frightened of getting this again,it was very scary,with all the blood I passed. I had a colonoscopy complete and two Cath scans. I would like to know if the aspirin is causing this problem.

Hello dear

Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query in details .

* Usually aspirin ( acetylsalicylic acid ) is known to produce stomach
upset , diarrhea , black tarry stool as side effect not constipation .

* Detailed evaluation is mandatory for the cause of constipation as
- intestinal motility issue - lack of oral liquids intake - restricted
mobility or activity related - others .

Hope this clears your query .

Wishing you fine recovery .
