Condition Overview & Pathology

Chronic Constipation involves infrequent bowel movements (fewer than 3 per week), difficulty or straining during defecation, or a sense of incomplete evacuation.

Causes range from low dietary fiber intake and dehydration to sluggish colon motility, pelvic floor dysfunction, or colonic obstruction.

Care Hospital provides colonoscopy screening to rule out structural lesions, alongside personalized dietary fiber therapy and bowel habit retraining.

Common Signs & Symptoms to Watch For

Fewer than 3 bowel movements per week
Hard, dry, or lumpy stools
Straining or discomfort during defecation
Abdominal bloating & feeling of rectal blockage

Recommended Diagnostic Workups

Diagnostic Colonoscopy / Sigmoidoscopy
Abdominal Digital X-Ray / Transit Studies

Treatment & Management Protocols

High-Fiber Dietary Therapy: 25-30 grams daily fiber with adequate water hydration.
Osmotic laxatives & prokinetic bowel retraining under medical guidance.
