What does constipation mean

Constipated stool refers to defecation difficulties, stool dry or spherical symptoms.

Constipated stool is usually caused by intestinal dysfunction, improper diet, lack of exercise and other reasons. First, intestinal dysfunction is one of the main causes of stool secret knot. When intestinal peristalsis slows down or inflammation occurs, stool will stay in the intestine for a long time, due to excessive absorption of water, can lead to stool dry, lumps, defecation difficulties, etc. Improper diet is also one of the important factors causing constipation. If there is insufficient dietary fiber and water in the diet, it will slow down intestinal motility and dry stools. In addition, if there is a lack of exercise, it may affect intestinal motility and prolong the retention time of stools, thus causing constipation.
