Constipation

What is constipation?

Individuals may experience constipation as a result of immobility, leg weakness, changes in diet (less fiber), or a decrease in drinking fluids. Constipation is defined not only by how frequently you move your bowels, but also by whether the stools are hard, dry or difficult to pass.
