What is Constipation?
Constipation is the difficulty to evacuate stools out of the body. By medical definition, stools will be dry and hard, as well as delayed or infrequent. Someone affected by constipation will not be able to defecate more than two to three times a week.
This presents a fastidious situation which comes with unpleasant health problems and difficulties in everyday life.
What are the Symptoms of Constipation?
Constipation often goes hand in hand with the following symptoms: bloating, flatulence (gas), stomach cramps, abdominal discomfort and a sensation of heaviness.
What Causes Constipation?
Constipation occurs when the stools move very slowly through the gastrointestinal system resulting in fecal matter remaining too long in the intestines and becoming hard and dry before evacuation.
The discharge gets difficult, infrequent and sometimes painful. There exists a multitude of factors that can cause constipation:
- Diet low in fibre;
- Dehydration (insufficient water consumption);
- Lack of regular physical activity;
- Use of certain medications (side effect)
- Overuse of laxatives;
- Certain illnesses (ex.: irritable bowel syndrome);
- Stressful lifestyle.
