Constipation: It refers to infrequent bowel movements. Stools are frequently dry, painful, and difficult to pass. Constipation is a condition in which a person has fewer than three bowel movements per week. However, bowel patterns can vary from person to person. Bloating, abdominal pain and the sensation that the bowel movement is incomplete are some of the symptoms. Constipation occurs when the normal muscle contractions in the large intestine slow down, resulting in the incomplete elimination of the bowel from the body. A sudden change in diet, a low-fibre diet, not drinking enough liquids, a lack of exercise, and loss of tone in the bowel muscles in older people can cause constipation.
