Constipation

Constipation is the recurrent condition in which you find it difficult or painful to pass stool.  This stool is also characterized by dryness and only comes a couple times a week at most.  This is the result of the little water the stool was able to mix with while it stayed in the colon.

You may get constipated for reasons you may or may not have control over.  Factors which you may control include your eating and drinking habits, physical stimulation and activities, and bowel movement habits.  To avoid constipation, you must eat fibrous foods, drink lots of fluids, eat regularly, engage in regular physical exercise, and try to move your bowel daily or regularly. 

On the other hand, some factors which you will not be able to control are age and having certain medical conditions of which constipation is an accompanying symptom.  You may, however, consult your doctor for options which will help you remove bowel at least less painfully.
