Constipation
What is Constipation?
Constipation is a difficulty in defaecation. It can occur either because stools are too hard or too large, because you rarely feel the urge to go or because you get the urge, but the sphincter doesn’t relax to let you.
It can be caused by any condition that impairs colonic peristalsis or anal relaxation, or interrupts the messages from the brain to the colon.
