What is constipation?

Constipation is a common digestive problem that affects most people from time to time. It occurs when you have difficulty passing stools (having a poo) regularly or you are unable to completely empty your bowels when you go to the toilet. Constipation can also cause your stool (poo) to become dry, hard and lumpy as well as being larger or smaller than what is usual for you.

What causes constipation?

Constipation occurs when your stools (poo) remain in the large intestine for too long and the colon absorbs too much water from the stool making it dry, hard and more difficult to pass. Constipation can affect anyone from babies to adults and there are a variety of factors that can cause it including:

• Fever
• Anxiety or depression
• Side effects of certain medicines
• A change in your lifestyle, such as a change in your diet or eating habits
• Not including enough fibre in your diet through eating fruit, vegetables and cereals
• Delaying passing stools
• Dehydration through not drinking enough fluids
• Immobility or lack of exercise
• Being underweight or overweight

How to treat constipation?

The treatment for constipation depends on the cause, how long you’ve had it and how severe the symptoms are. There are a range of lifestyle and diet changes you can make that can improve the condition including:

• Regular exercise
• Add bulking agents, such as wheat bran to your diet
• Increase the amount of fibre in your diet
• Drink plenty of water
• Respond to the natural urge to pass a stool without delay

If you are still having problems passing stools after making these lifestyle changes, speak to your doctor or a GP who may prescribe you a laxative.
