Constipation is one of the very common day-to-day problems in the high-living society. As per reports, 22% of Indians are suffering from constipation. It is more common in metro cities. Constipation can be perceived as infrequent bowel movements, difficulty in defecation, distress symptoms of faecal incontinence, retentive posture, withdrawal behaviour, etc. No international consensus has been reached regarding the definition of constipation. All ages people can have constipation. Constipation can be an associated complaint with other physical problems. As per the data, constipation is more likely in people suffering from diabetes. 60% of people with long-standing diabetes were estimated to deal with constipation. In females, constipation was found more common during pregnancy.  Changes in a woman’s hormones and pressure to the rectum make them more prone to constipation. Other common causes of constipation are lack of fibre in the diet, eating an excess of milk or cheese, irregular routine such as travelling or eating or going to bed, sedentary lifestyle, medications, medical conditions, dehydration, etc. Non-treated chronic constipation may be complicated by other health issues like piles, anal fissures, urine leaking from the bladder due to pelvic floor muscles from straining, infection in the colon, etc.
