If you have difficulty moving your bowels, you may be suffering from constipation. Constipation occurs when a person’s bowel movements are infrequent, less than once every three days, or when passing stool requires straining. Constipation should always be evaluated by a physician with a thorough consultation and examination to establish an accurate diagnosis and constipation treatment plan and to rule out a serious illness or condition.
There are many causes of constipation. The most common is simply poor eating habits. Many people don’t realize it, but they eat a low fiber diet, don’t take in enough fluids, and don’t exercise enough. Constipation can affect people of all ages, from newborns to the elderly. Although the problem is seen more in females than in males, the cause of constipation is multifactorial. The issue may arise in the rectum or colon or because of an external factor.
