CONSTIPATION

Digestive Disorders

CONSTIPATION

Constipation is when you have trouble going to the bathroom. Your bowel movements are infrequent, hard to pass, and often painful. It’s a common problem, and it’s more common in women than men.

Constipation makes it frustrating to go, and it can affect your daily life. It means you’re passing very hard and dry stools. It’s not just uncomfortable; sometimes it can be really painful. If it gets severe, it can lead to issues like anal fissures or hemorrhoids, which are even more painful.

Causes of Constipation

Constipation, a common tummy trouble, happens when it’s hard to go to the bathroom. It can be caused by different things, and everyone’s experience is different, so treatment needs to be understanding and comprehensive.

  • Low-Fiber Diet: Eating too much processed food with not enough fiber can make it tough to have regular, easy bathroom trips.
  • Dehydration: Forgetting to drink enough water can lead to dry and hard stools that are hard to push out.
  • Sitting Around: Our modern lives often involve a lot of sitting and not much physical activity. This can slow down how our insides work and cause constipation.
  • Stress: Modern life can be very stressful, and that stress can mess with our digestive system, making constipation worse.

  • Other Reasons: Sometimes, constipation can happen because of nerve damage, certain diseases, surgeries, or side effects of medication. These can all make it hard to have regular bathroom trips.

Symptoms of Constipation

  • Rare Bathroom Visits: You’re not going to the bathroom often, less than three times a week.
  • Uncomfortable Stools: When you do go, the poop is hard and lumpy, which can be uncomfortable.
  • Changes in Routine: Your usual bathroom habits change, and you’re not going as regularly as you used to.
  • Feeling Not Empty: After you go, it feels like there’s still something left in your belly.
  • Belly Discomfort: You might feel bloated, gassy, and have pain in your stomach because of constipation.
  • Nausea and No Hunger: Sometimes, constipation can make you feel queasy and not want to eat. It messes with how your whole digestive system works.
