Although chronic constipation is a common complaint, there are no ideal biological markers for its diagnosis. Diagnosis rests on individual patient perception or clinical criteria developed by expert consensus. Investigation options are multiple but often not necessary. When selected, investigations are directed at confirming the absence of a primary underlying disease, differentiating or defining an alteration in colonic motility or identifying an anorectal evacuation disorder.
尽管慢性便秘是一种常见的主诉，但尚无理想的生物学标志物用于其诊断。诊断基于个体患者的感知或专家共识制定的临床标准。检查选项有多种，但通常并非必要。若选择进行检查，则旨在确认不存在原发性基础疾病、鉴别或明确结肠动力改变或识别肛门直肠排空障碍。
