RESUMEN
La relevancia del estreñimiento crónico para la salud pública es objeto de amplio estudio debido a su creciente incidencia, al impacto económico negativo que produce y a las múltiples complicaciones que conduce, concluyendo en un deterioro de la calidad de vida de los pacientes que lo padecen. Además, aún faltan estrategias para el abordaje de estudio y de tratamiento concisas. Con el reciente desarrollo de diferentes técnicas diagnósticas ha sido posible dilucidar varios de los mecanismos fisiopatológicos por los que se desarrolla esta patología, lo que ha ayudado en gran medida a la creación de estrategias de identificación más temprana de este padecimiento y su clasificación, para administrar tratamientos dirigidos a los blancos terapéuticos identificados. En esta revisión se ofrece una actualización en dichas estrategias de abordaje diagnóstico y terapéutico.
Palabras clave: Estreñimiento, estreñimiento crónico, estreñimiento secundario, laxantes.

ABSTRACT
The public health relevance of chronic constipation is the object of extensive study due to its increasing incidence, the negative economic impact it produces and the multiple complications it leads to, concluding in a deterioration in the quality of life of patients who suffer from it. Furthermore, strategies for the concise study and treatment approach are still lacking. With the recent development of different diagnostic techniques it has been possible to elucidate several of the pathophysiological mechanisms by which this pathology develops, which has greatly helped to create strategies for earlier identification of this condition and its classification, to manage treatments aimed at the identified therapeutic targets. This review offers an update on these diagnostic and therapeutic approach strategies.
Keywords: Constipation, chronic constipation, secondary Constipation, laxatives.
