Constipation
BOOK APPOINTMENTConstipation involves having bowel movement less than 3 times per week. The bowel movements themselves may be very dray, hard, and small in size. Constipation occurs due to the following reasons:
- Lack of fluids
- Overuse of specific laxatives
- Fiber deficiency
- Lack of physical activity
- Iron pills or medicine with constipation side effects
Patients experience multiple symptoms during constipation, this can include small bowl, hard, dry bowel movements, long times between bowel movements, and the feeling of a full or bloated bowel. If you are affected, you can treat constipation by drinking more fluids, adding more fiber to your diet, increasing physical activity, and not delaying bowel movements.
Treatment
To improve your condition, eat fresh vegetables and fruit, perform regular exercise, drink fluids, increase whole-grain fiber in your diet, and avoid using laxatives which can cause liquid bowel movement.
Consultation
Dr. Davidson and his team can treat constipation with in-office procedures, over-the-counter medications, or natural compounds. For the most personalized and effective treatments, you can schedule a consultation at our office.
