ICD-10-CM Code for Constipation, unspecified K59. 00.
The term “idiopathic constipation” means constipation without a known cause. Children with constipation are not able to have a bowel movement on a routine basis. Often it is a very mild problem that can be solved by changes in diet and exercise. Some children suffer from chronic idiopathic constipation.
Constipation is defined as infrequent or difficult evacuation of the feces. Typically dry hard fecal material is seen. Obstipation is one step further than constipation and is characterized by the inability to pass the accumulation of dry hard feces.

The most common side effect of opioid ther- apy is constipation. Constipation occurs in up to 85% of patients taking opioids.
Linaclotide functions locally in the intestinal lumen, activating guanylate cyclase-C, stimulating fluid secretion, and increasing GI transit, which potentially mitigates the constipating effects of opioids on the GI tract.
Frequently, phosphate-containing enemas are widely used to combat opioid-induced constipation. The laxative action is created through fluid movement into the rectosigmoid induced by sodium phosphate. Normally, the response occurs within minutes, resulting in little absorption of the enema.
