How to Handle Constipation
Constipation is a common digestive condition characterized by infrequent bowel movements, typically fewer than three times a week, along with difficulty passing stools. It often results in hard, dry stools and may cause discomfort, straining, or a sense of incomplete evacuation. Factors contributing to constipation include a low-fiber diet, dehydration, lack of physical activity, certain medications, and underlying health conditions. It can affect individuals of all ages but is more prevalent in older adults. Treatment typically involves dietary modifications, increased fluid intake, regular exercise, and, in some cases, over-the-counter laxatives or medical intervention for more severe cases.
