Constipation is a condition characterized by infrequent bowel movements, difficulty passing stools, or hard, dry stools. It is a common problem that affects people of all ages, and can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor diet, lack of physical activity, certain medications, and certain medical conditions.
Bowel irregularity refers to any changes in the frequency, consistency, or ease of passing stools, which may include constipation, diarrhea, or a combination of the two.
Common symptoms of constipation and bowel irregularity may include abdominal pain or discomfort, bloating, and a feeling of incomplete bowel movements. Chronic constipation or bowel irregularity can increase the risk of developing hemorrhoids or other bowel problems.
Treatment for constipation and bowel irregularity typically involves making dietary and lifestyle changes, such as increasing fiber intake, drinking plenty of fluids, and getting regular exercise. In some cases, medications, such as laxatives or stool softeners, may also be recommended. It's important to speak with a healthcare provider if constipation or bowel irregularity persist or are accompanied by severe abdominal pain, blood in the stool, or other concerning symptoms.
