What is constipation?
Healthy and regular bowel movements are essential for most people. However, what is 'normal and regular' varies from person to person. Some may have a bowel movement every day, others less often. Whatever it is like for you, your bowel movement should have a regular pattern.
- Constipation is an occasional problem for some people - for others, it may happen more often.
- Constipation happens when the typical muscle actions in the bowel slow down.
The cause of constipation is often not known.
It can be linked with:
- Pregnancy
- Lack of exercise
- A sudden change in diet
- A diet with not enough fibre
- Having to stay in bed for a long time
- Medicines such as morphine or codeine
- Loss of 'tone' of the bowel muscles in older people
Whatever the cause, constipation can be uncomfortable. It may make you feel bloated and heavy or generally 'off-colour'. Sometimes it causes headaches.
Try these healthy tips to help prevent constipation happening:
- Eat a balanced diet, including fresh fruit and vegetables.
- Drink enough water so that you do not become dehydrated
- Keep up your exercise and stay fit.
- Make time to empty your bowels when your body tells you.
