Chronic constipation is defined by infrequent, difficult, and often uncomfortable bowel movements, typically accompanied by abdominal pain, straining, and a sense of incomplete evacuation. This condition can significantly impact quality of life, causing discomfort, fatigue, and social limitations. Common causes include dehydration, low dietary fiber intake, certain medications, and underlying health conditions. Addressing these factors can alleviate symptoms and improve daily life for those affected.
