How to Treat Constipation
April 15, 2009 Filed under Constipation and Pregnancy
If you have a bowel movement less than three times a week, you could be constipated. When the body is constipated, the stools are usually hard, dry, small and difficult to eliminate. Bowel movements can also be painful and cause straining, bloating, and the sensation of a full bowel.
Just because you may not have a bowel movement every day does not mean that you are constipated. Depending on the person, a normal stool may be anywhere from three times a day to three times a week.
Most constipation is not serious, it is only temporary. If you understand the causes, prevention, and treatment of constipation, you will most likely find relief. Constipation is only a symptom, never a disease.
Parasites, have a better chance of attaching themselves to the walls of the colon when you are constipated. In turn this may cause many more problems. Having normal bowel movements will not give the parasites a chance to even attach and anchor to your colon.
