Atony of the colon refers to a decreased or absent muscle tone in the colon, which can lead to reduced motility and impaired bowel function. This condition may result in symptoms such as constipation, abdominal distension, and discomfort. Atony can be caused by factors such as neurological disorders, prolonged inactivity, or certain medications. Treatment typically focuses on addressing the underlying cause and may include dietary changes, hydration, and sometimes medications to stimulate bowel activity.
