Constipation Specialty Treatment in Pondicherry




Constipation
Medical definition of constipation is “fewer than three bowel movements a week.” Normal bowel movement pattern is one bowel movement per day.

Causes of all these types of constipation differ from each other.

Severe constipation- Less than one bowel movement per week. Improper food habits and lack of physical activities may be the causes of severe constipation.

Acute constipation- It is the sudden or recent onset of constipation. A serious medical illness like tumors of the colon may be the cause of acute constipation. It requires urgent medical assistance.

Chronic constipation- It is the constipation that lasts for long durations. Again the food habits and lack of physical exercises can be the causes of chronic constipation.

Constipation Symptoms
Depending upon the severity and type of constipation, the symptoms of constipation might also differ from person to person.
  • Infrequent stools.
  • Hard stools
