CHILD CONSTIPATION
CONSTIPATION
What is Constipation?
Constipation is most often defined as having a bowel movement less than 3 times per week. It is often associated with hard stools or problems passing stools. You may have pain while passing stools or may be unable to have a bowel movement after straining or pushing.
Normal bowel movements are different for each person. Some people do not have a bowel movement every day. When you do not have frequent bowel movements, or it takes a lot of effort to pass stool, you have constipation.
Causes:
-
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.
