COMPARISON OF BOWEL ELIMINATION DISORDERS 2

Comparison of Bowel Elimination Disorders:

Diarrhea

Bowel Obstruction

Hemorrhoids

Pathophysiology

Diarrhea occurs when the

bowel movements are more

loose and watery than normal.

The intestines push stool into

the rectum before water is

reabsorbed in the bloodstream,

making one to experience

diarrhea. Diarrhea also occurs

when the bowel experiences

inflammation leading to

excessive fluid leakage into the

stool (Sheikh et al., 2018).

Bowel obstruction occurs

when the bowel or intestines

experience blockage making

digestive secretions, ingested

food, and fluid and gas

accumulate above the blockage

(Reddy & Cappell, 2017). The

bowel becomes congested and

edematous leading to

strangulating obstruction.

Deterioration or disintegration

of the tissues of the anal

cushions leads to Hemorrhoids

(Idrees et al., 2019). The anal

cushions are therefore

displaced downwards, leading

to venous dilatation. This is

referred to as the sliding anal

canal lining theory.

Etiology

Diarrhea is mainly caused by

viral, bacterial, and parasitic

infections. Some of the

common viruses include

norovirus and Viral

gastroenteritis. Salmonella and

Escherichia coli are common

bacteria. Eating or drinking

contaminated food or water

cause traveler’ diarrhea

(Sheikh et al., 2018).

One of the common causes of

bowel obstruction is intra-

abdominal adhesions, leading

to about 75% of all cases

(Reddy & Cappell, 2017).

Hernias, malignancy, Crohn

disease, and volculus are also

other common causes.

Mediators or enzymes

contribute to the degradation of

the anal cushions and

supporting tissues. One of

them is the matrix

metalloproteinase (MMP)

(Idrees et al., 2019).

Microvascular density is

another cause of hemorrhoids,

mainly when Stomal Vascular

Endothelial factors (VEGF)
