What causes constipation?

Experiencing difficulty in passing stools and achieving bowel regularity is a prevalent health concern known as constipation. It's a common symptom rather than a standalone ailment, affecting nearly everyone at some point in life. Identifying and addressing the root causes is crucial for effective management. Lifestyle and dietary changes, along with the use of over-the-counter medicines, provide relief in common cases. If constipation persists for more than a few weeks, or if you are experiencing symptoms such as pain during bowel movements or rectal bleeding, seeking medical advice is essential.

Identifying Signs of Constipation

Irregular Bowel Movements

Irregular bathroom cycles, passing stool less than 3 times a week

Hard Stools

Straining during bowel movements and noticing your stools are too firm and lumpy

Incomplete Evacuation

Persistently feeling full despite passing stool or experiencing a sensation of rectal blockage

Abdominal Bloating

Feeling sluggish and/or abdominal pain even after bowel movements

Root Causes of Constipation

Constipation, a common digestive concern, can stem from various factors. Key factors are:

  • Unhealthy Eating Habits

    Poor dietary choices, particularly low fibre intake from fruits and vegetables, can disrupt regular bowel movements. Fibre serves as a natural laxative, promoting stool bulk and facilitating easier passage.
  • Inadequate Hydration

    Insufficient water intake leads to dehydration, contributing significantly to constipation. Dehydrated bodies draw water from stools, leading to harder and more challenging bowel movements.
  • Medication Side Effects

    Certain medications, such as iron salts, opioids, sedatives, over-the-counter antacids, and certain blood pressure drugs, can act as triggers for constipation.
  • Lifestyle Factors

    Substances like Alcohol and Caffeine can heighten susceptibility to constipation
  • Lack of Physical Activity

    Leading a sedentary lifestyle may contribute to constipation. Regular exercise, on the other hand, can aid in digestion and promote more complete evacuation.
