What is constipation?
Normal and regular bowel movement is
important for most people. However, what is “normal and regular” varies from
person to person. Some may have a bowel movement every day, others less often.
Whatever it is like for you, it is best that your bowel movement has a regular
pattern.
*Constipation is an occasional problem for
some people; for others, it may happen more often.
*It happens when the normal muscle action
in the bowel (large intestine) slows down. This can mean that material is not
easily eliminated from the body.
The cause of constipation is often not
known. It can be associated with:
*Sudden change of diet
*Not drinking enough fluid (e.g. water)
*A diet with not enough fibre
*Loss of ‘tone’ in the bowel muscles in
older people
*Pregnancy
*Medicines such as morphine and codeine
*Having to stay in bed for a long time
*Lack of exercise
These healthy tips are recommended to try
and prevent constipation happening
*Eat a balanced diet including fresh fruit
and vegetables
*Drink enough water so that you do not
become dehydrated
*Keep up your exercise and stay fit
*Make time to empty your bowels when your
body tells you
