Constipation

Constipation affects most people at some point in time. A person is considered to be constipated if they have three or fewer bowel movements in a week or if they do have a bowel movement they are hard, dry or painful. Depending on how often a bowel movement normally occurs will determine what is considered to be “infrequent” for each individual patient, but constipation is usually defined as fewer than three movements a week.
