Constipation is a common digestive issue characterized by infrequent bowel movements or difficulty passing stool. It can vary in severity and duration, causing discomfort and impacting overall well-being. Factors contributing to constipation include inadequate fiber intake, lack of physical activity, dehydration, certain medications, and underlying health conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or hypothyroidism. Symptoms of constipation may include straining during bowel movements, hard or lumpy stools, a sensation of incomplete evacuation, abdominal bloating, and discomfort. While occasional constipation is normal and often resolves with lifestyle adjustments like increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and exercising regularly, chronic constipation may require medical attention.
