Understanding Constipation: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Constipation is a common digestive issue characterized by infrequent bowel movements or difficulty passing stools. It can vary from person to person, but is generally defined as having fewer than three bowel movements per week. Constipation can be acute, lasting for a short period of time, or chronic, lasting for several weeks or longer.

Symptoms of constipation can include:

Difficulty passing stools
Hard or lumpy stools
Feeling like your bowels are not completely empty after a bowel movement
Abdominal bloating or discomfort
Straining during bowel movements
Constipation can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

Lack of fiber in the diet
Not drinking enough water
Lack of physical activity
Ignoring the urge to have a bowel movement
Changes in routine or lifestyle
Certain medications
Medical conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), hypothyroidism, or neurological conditions
Treatment for constipation often involves lifestyle changes, such as increasing fiber intake, drinking more water, and getting regular physical activity. Over-the-counter laxatives may also be used in some cases. If constipation is chronic or severe, it’s important to see a Doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
