Constipation means failure in your performance in either your infrequent or your experiencing difficulty in your ability to pass hard, dry faeces into lavatory pan. In most cases constipation is harmless, only occasionally it being a symptom of some underlying disorder especially if onset is recent and you are over forty.

Many worry that they do not excrete often enough. But in fact your regularity and comfort of your bowel action are more important than your frequency of performance. But nevertheless any persistent change you note in the pattern of your performance in the lavatory should be investigated by your doctor, particularly if it is accompanied by blood in your faeces, pain on trying to move your bowels, loss of your sense of well-being or weight loss. Consulting a doctor is adviseable to investigate or rule out the possibility of a serious disorder, the most likely of which are hemorrhoids(piles), anal fissure (a crack in the skin around your anus) or irritable bowel syndrome. A doctor would usually investigates constipation by carrying out a physical examination of you, analysing your detailed case history and if appropriate arranging for special tests.

The commonest cause of constipation is insufficient dietary fibre in your diet. Fibre which is found in such food as fresh fruit, wholemeal bread and vegetables gives you the bulk that the muscles of your colon (that is the major part of your large intestine) depends on to activate the propulsion of your faeces into the lavatory. So if you suffer from constipation that is perhaps where to first direct your attention.

Inadequate regular bowel movement habits is another cause of constipation which might be a consequence of poor toilet training during childhood or of you repeatedly ignoring the urge to visit the lavatory to do it when you need to. Another regular cause of constipation in some elderly persons is weakness of the abdomen muscles and the pelvic floor so preventing adequate pressure when you try to perform.
