Disease/Condition Glossary

Constipation: It refers to infrequent bowel movements in which stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass. Constipation is a condition in which the person has fewer than three bowel movements in a week. However, bowel patterns may vary from person to person. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, and feeling as if the bowel movement is incomplete. Constipation occurs when the large intestine's normal muscle contractions slow down, which causes the incomplete elimination of the bowel from the body. Constipation could be associated with a sudden change of diet, a diet with less fiber, not drinking enough liquids, and a lack of exercise.
