What is Constipation?

Constipation is a very common gastrointestinal problem with passing stool which is usually caused by lack of dietary fiber, fluids and exercise. Constipation generally means passing fewer than three stools a week or having a difficult time passing stool. It becomes a serious disorder if not treated properly. Severe episodes of Constipation can lead to problems like Anal fissures or the growth of Hemorrhoids.

Ayurveda describes Constipation as Vibandh, which is caused by imbalance of Vata dosha in the body. Older people and Women are seen more as sufferers of constipation due to changes in diet, medication, and limited movement.

Ayurveda is one of the oldest and most respected medical traditions in the world. It originated in India and is used and practised by millions, both in India and around the world. Ayurveda is a natural approach to health and wellness that focuses on balance between body and mind.

You can eliminate the symptoms of constipation and find relief from it with Ayurvedic treatment for constipation by Dr. Sharda Ayurveda. We have a proficient team of Ayurvedic doctors in India who specialise in treating constipation using natural methods.

Causes of Constipation

Constipation happens because your large intestine (colon) absorbs too much water from your stool. This dries out your stool, making it hard to maintain consistency and difficult to pass. Here are some causes of constipation:

High Consumption of processed foods that lack fiber cause difficult to evacuate stools.
Drinking less water causes dehydration which causes dry and firm stools that are hard to pass.
Infrequent movements and less focus on physical exercise can cause constipation.
Nerve injury also be the cause of lack of regular bowel movement, which is a significant cause of constipation.
Other reasons that cause chronic constipation include abdominal disease, surgery, or medication side effects.
