Constipation
Constipation is a symptom resulting from many gastrointestinal and other medical disorders. It is felt as infrequent passage of hard stools.
Cause
Constipation could be due to minor causes like lack of fibre or fluid or due to drugs like Opiate, iron supplements, etc. or due to metabolic problems like diabetes, hypocalcaemia, hypothyroidism, even old age or due to serious problems like multiple sclerosis, spinal cord lesions, parkinsonism, diverticular disease or even carcinomas.
If constipation is of sudden onset, severe, worsening, associated with other worrisome symptoms such as loss of weight, or is not responding to simple, safe and effective treatments medical evaluation of constipation should be done.
