This is a condition in which the bowel movement is not felt and the faeces become dry and hard, and difficult and painful to eliminate. The frequency of normal bowel clearance varies from person to person but when constipation becomes a problem, it is usually a result of improper diet and inattention to this habit formation in childhood.

A change in lifestyle may be needed, including more exercise and more fluids and fibre in the diet. Since the large intestine is active between 5-7 am, try to clear your bowels before 7 am every day, for at least one month. You will see the results.
