Constipation

What is constipation?
In constipation, bowel movements either occur less often than expected, or the stool is hard, dry and difficult to pass.

. In most cases, someone who suffers from constipation has no underlying illness or digestive disorder. Instead, the problem is related to diet, lifestyle, medications (including the overuse of laxatives) or some other factor that either is hardening the stool or is interfering with its ability to pass comfortably. Some common triggers of constipation in adults include:

A diet low in fiber, Inadequate fluid intake, A sedentary lifestyle,
Ignoring the urge to defecate, Travel and scheduling factors,

Causes of Constipation
Constipation may occur if your child is not eating enough high-fiber foods, drinking enough fluids or getting enough exercise. But in many children, no cause for the constipation can be found. Having a bowel movement may have been so painful that the child began resisting the urge to have a bowel movement.

What are the symptoms of Constipation ?
Symptoms of constipation include

Fewer than three bowel movements per week
Small, hard, dry stools that are difficult or painful to pass
The need to strain excessively to have a bowel movement
A feeling that your rectum is not empty after a bowel movement
