Constipation, जिसे हिंदी में कब्ज़ कहते हैं, is one of the most common digestive complaints affecting people of all ages. It refers to infrequent bowel movements, difficulty passing stools, or a feeling of incomplete evacuation. While occasional constipation is normal, chronic constipation that persists for weeks can indicate an underlying digestive issue that needs proper evaluation and care.
Functional Constipation is the most common type and is usually linked to a low-fiber diet, inadequate water intake, lack of physical activity, or stress. Chronic Constipation persists over a long period and may be associated with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome or hormonal imbalances. Secondary Constipation — यह किसी दवाई या अन्य बीमारी के कारण हो सकती है — occurs as a result of medications, thyroid issues, or other underlying medical conditions.
Treatment begins with a detailed assessment of your bowel habits, diet, lifestyle, and medical history. Depending on the severity and cause, the approach may include dietary modifications, increased hydration, fiber supplementation, and medications. For persistent or unexplained constipation, a colonoscopy may be recommended to rule out any structural or serious underlying cause. The goal is always to provide lasting relief, not just temporary solutions.
