What is Constipation?

Constipation happens when your bowel movements become less frequent or harder to pass. This can cause tummy discomfort, bloating, and a feeling that you haven’t fully emptied your bowels. Most cases are mild, temporary and can improve with simple changes like eating more fibre, drinking plenty of fluids, staying active, and short-term treatment.
