Constipation.

Undestand constipation

Constipation is characterised by frequent bowel ,the doctors generally talk about 3 movement bowel per week and this during many month.As the matter of fact there is no strict rules in the frequence, if you feel some uneasy asssociate to defection despite your frequent bowel movement,talk to your doctor, it can also be constipation.

The most frequent causes of constipation are:a bad balance diet,a diet poor in fibers(raw, fruits and vegetables) insuficient liquid absorption(a man must drink at least 2 litter of water per day) liver deficiency, insuficient of mastication,hemorhoids,gastric ulcer,bad diet combination,rice and floury,etc).

So constipation just reminds us to order and instead of laxatives we need to find the root cause and treat the problem at its root otherwise whatever treatment is followed, satisfaction will be short-lived. No drug can replace a failed lifestyle because if the cause persists the disease will always return. The same causes always lead to the same effects.

Symptoms associated with constipation may be abdominal pain, stomach pain, bloating, gas, hemorrhoids, spasms, hard stools, or a feeling of incomplete evacuation.
