Constipation is a common intestinal problem and almost
everyone gets constipated at least once within their lifetime. Constipation is when
a person has far fewer bowel actions which could possibly be under 2-3 times a
week. Person suffering from constipation
must make a lot of effort and strain himself whenever one wants to go thus
finding it painful whenever moving bowel. Constipation can surely be depressing, and it normally
happens to older people and women.
Some of the causes of constipation are intake of less
fiber. Fiber is very important as it
makes the stool extinction process easy and less distressing. If there is not
enough intake of fiber the stools become dry and becomes difficult. Consuming enough of water helps in constipation
problems as it helps circulate enough water to the intestine for fast movement. Avoid alcohol and caffeine products if you
are constipated as these increases dehydration and gives rise to constipation. Go to the bathroom whenever you have the urge
do not avoid and neglect not going to the bathroom as this would make the stools
dry and tough. Pregnancy can also cause
constipation.
