Chronic Constipation
Chronic constipation is a prolonged alteration of intestinal transit in which bowel movements are infrequent, difficult, or incomplete over weeks or longer.
Common symptoms:
- Scant and hard stools
- Straining or the sensation of not fully emptying
- Abdominal discomfort, bloating, or heaviness
Common causes: It may be related to eating habits, low fluid intake, a sedentary lifestyle, or various health conditions that are worth evaluating.
Which specialist treats it? The general practitioner usually provides the first approach, and when a more thorough evaluation is needed, the proctologist or the general surgeon get involved. If constipation persists, is accompanied by pain, bleeding, or notable changes in bowel habits, it is worth seeking medical guidance.
