What is Constipation?
Constipation is a condition where you have difficulty in passing stools or have infrequent bowel movements, you might also experience pain or straining while passing stool.
Various factors like poor diet, lack of fibre intake, dehydration or certain medications can stress the colon’s muscles. Since the colon’s primary function is to absorb water from residual food and push it out of the rectum, difficulty in passing stool and its retention can cause discomfort.
