Constipation occurs when a person has lesser bowel movements (fewer than three bowel movements in a week) and has difficulty passing the stools (faeces). When the normal muscle contractions in the large intestine slow down, it leads to the incomplete elimination of the bowel from the body. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, and feeling as if the bowel movement is incomplete. Constipation can occur due to various reasons like dehydration, not including enough fibre in the diet, side effects of medicines, and lack of physical activity.
