Understanding chronic constipation, its causes, and effective management strategies.
Constipation is a condition characterized by infrequent bowel movements (less than 3 times per week) or difficulty passing stools.
Chronic constipation persists for months and significantly affects quality of life. Occasional constipation is usually temporary.
Most cases respond well to dietary changes, increased physical activity, and lifestyle modifications. Medical intervention may be needed for severe cases.
