Constipation is most often defined as having a bowel movement less than 3 times per week. It usually is associated with hard stools or difficulty passing stools. You may have pain while passing stools or may be unable to have a bowel movement after straining or pushing for more than 10 minutes.

Join CITrials today in the research and development of Constipation by participating in a study.  Your participation in a clinincal trial could help in the development of new medical treatments for this disorder. 

 

Constipation is most often caused by:

• Low-fiber diet

• Lack of physical activity

• Not drinking enough water

• Delay in going to the bathroom when you have the urge to move your bowels

Stress and travel can also contribute to constipation or other changes in bowel habits.

Other causes of constipation may include:

• Colon cancer

• Diseases of the bowel, such as irritable bowel syndrome

• Mental health disorders

• Nervous system disorders

• Pregnancy

• Underactive thyroid

• Use of certain medications

Constipation in children often occurs if they hold back bowel movements when they aren't ready for toilet training or are afraid of it.
