What is Constipation?

You might sometimes feel uncomfortable and difficulty in emptying your stomach. You will have the urge to go but when you do, you find it hard to empty your bowel; this is because you are constipated.

People of all ages suffer from constipation. Constipation means that you are not passing your stool (feces) as often, and as normally you do. You might have to strain more than usual to completely empty your bowel.

If you are suffering from constipation need not worry as it is very common and goes away within few days, but if it doesn’t you need to talk to our best gastroenterologist doctor in Bangalore immediately.

Causes of Constipation

Constipation can happen for many different reasons such as when stool passes through the colon too slowly. The slower the food moves through your digestive tract, the more water the colon will absorb and the harder your feces will become.

Sometimes, constipation can also be a result of a blockage in the large intestine. In this case, a person will need immediate medical attention.
