  What do you know about constipation, its causes and symptoms? Constipation is defined as having chronic difficulty moving stools (colons) for three or more consecutive days. It can be caused by conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, chronic kidney disease, colon cancer or other factors, such as pregnancy. Constipation is a normal part of aging, but it can become more serious over time. While constipation is common in adults, those with end-stage chronic kidney disease have even greater constipation. Severe constipation can result in rectal prolapse or hemorrhoids, or the accumulation of toxins in the abdomen. On the other hand, constipation in adults with end-stage kidney disease is associated with an increased risk of fluid retention. Constipation can be a symptom of a number of health issues, such as ulcers in the digestive system or pain in the upper back. Constipation can also be a symptom of dehydration. Without enough fluids, the colon's muscles will not contract and ...

 Types of diabetes, Know about the prevention from diabetes Introduction Diabetes is a complex disorder that may be difficult to understand. The cause of diabetes is not completely known and there are many different types of diabetes, each with different symptoms, outcomes, and treatments. To help you understand this condition better, we've broken down all of the major types of diabetes below: Type 1 diabetes Type 1 diabetes is a condition that occurs when the body's immune system attacks and kills pancreatic cells, which produce insulin. Because of this, people with type 1 diabetes don't produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels in their bodies.  This can lead to high levels of glucose (sugar) in your blood or urine, which can result in serious complications such as kidney damage and retinopathy (eye disease). Type 2 diabetes is when you have high levels of glucose even though you're making enough insulin; this is caused by other factors besides genetics or...
