Constipation can be defined as the situation where an individual experiences less frequent bowel movements and difficulties in passing stools. Several factors have been associated with the cause of constipation ranging from exercises, diet, and use of medication. Some of the most common risk factors for constipation include lifestyle concerns that affect an individual’s bowel habits such as eating solid food with no fibers, inadequate water intake, travel, ignoring the urge to use the bathroom, and inadequate stress management (Benjamin, &Drobatz, 2020). Medications such as antacids containing aluminum or calcium, antidepressants, antispasmodics, diuretics, antihistamines, and narcotic pain medications have been associated with increased risks of constipation. Other risk factors include health conditions such as diabetes, structural conditions such as anal fissure, pelvic floor dysfunction, neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, cancer, advanced age, and family history among others.
