Constipation happens when your bowel movements are less often or harder than normal. Everyone goes through it in one\u2019s life. You may have tried many constipation remedies\u00a0to get constipation relief.<\/p>\n
Usually, it\u2019s not a serious issue, but you feel much better when your constipation system improves. The normal time between bowel movements varies widely from one person to another. Some have them thrice a day, while others may have only once or twice a week. Not having bowel movements for three or more days can be harmful. Chronic constipation syndrome is called when, after three days, the stool or feces become more difficult to pass.<\/p>\n
Signs of constipation should not be avoided as avoiding them can lead to other health illnesses. Constipation symptoms include fewer than 3 bowel movements a week, difficulty in passing stool, stomachache or cramps, dry\/hard or lumpy stool, feeling nauseous or bloated, and feeling of not emptying your bowels completely after a movement.<\/p>\n
Causes of constipation \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Reasons for constipation or constipation causes can be different from person to person, but in general, constipation usually happens when stool remains in the colon (large intestine) for a long time, and then the colon absorbs too much water from the stools, resulting in a hard and dry stool. Mostly, any specific condition doesn\u2019t cause constipation, and it is difficult to identify the exact cause.<\/p>\n
However, several factors do account for an increased chance of having severe constipation, including:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Low fiber diet<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Fiber assists stool to stay soft. Drinking liquids helps fiber to keep stools soft. Constipation is more common in older adults due to the intake of limited dietary fiber, lack of outdoor activity, and use of medications.<\/p>\n
\n
Less physical activity<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You may get constipated if you don\u2019t work out, perform outdoor activities, or move around regularly.<\/p>\n
\n
Having other health problems<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
An individual suffering from a health problem or currently having an accident may not be able to exercise regularly. He\/she may have to stay in bed mostly because of an illness or accident. This may cause constipation.<\/p>\n
\n
Medicines<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Some medications prescribed by doctors to treat other health problems may give rise to constipation, and this further requires you to follow\u00a0specific constipation treatments<\/a>.<\/p>\n
