Constipation

Overview

Constipation is a frequent health issue faced at any age. It occurs when body waste or stool goes through the digestive tract too slowly or cannot be efficiently removed from the body, which can result in the stool being hard and dry. There are numerous potential causes of chronic constipation. The majority of people have constipation at some point in their lives. Constipation is unpleasant, but it is typically seen as a symptom rather than an illness. Constipation can be caused by a variety of factors, such as an inadequate consumption of fiber-rich foods like junk foods, a lack of fluid consumption, an unhealthy sleep schedule, stress, or even as a side effect of taking certain medications. Laxative drugs are the medicines used to treat constipation.
