What is constipation?
Normal and regular bowel movement is important 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, it is best that your bowel movement has a regular pattern.
Constipation is an occasional problem for some people. For others, it may happen more often
It happens when the normal muscle actions in the bowel (large intestine) slow down. This can mean that material is not easily eliminated from the body
The cause of constipation is often not known. It can be associated with:
Sudden change of diet
A diet with not enough fibre
Not drinking enough fluids
Loss of ‘tone’ of the bowel muscles in older people
Pregnancy
Medicines such as morphine or codeine
Having to stay in bed for a long time
Lack of exercise
