Constipation involves infrequent, hard, or difficult bowel movements. Symptoms include abdominal discomfort, bloating, and a feeling of incomplete evacuation. Common causes include dehydration, low fiber intake, or sedentary lifestyles. Chronic constipation may indicate underlying conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Increasing fluid intake, dietary fiber, and exercise can provide relief, along with medical evaluation if persistent.
Constipation treatment includes lifestyle changes like increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and regular exercise. Stool softeners or laxatives provide immediate relief, while managing underlying causes, such as IBS, ensures long-term solutions. Dietary modifications and a regular bathroom routine also support recovery. A personalized approach helps relieve discomfort, restores bowel regularity, and improves overall digestive health, ensuring sustainable relief and improved quality of life.
