10 Dehydration Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #9: Constipation
Constipation is defined as having 3 or fewer spontaneous bowel movements per week and also having difficulties passing stool during defecation. If your water intake is not high enough, the gastrointestinal tract will start to “hang on” to water, making your stools drier and harder to pass.
Many conditions may cause a patient to become constipated but, inadequate fluid intake is one of the most common reasons to look in to. If you are having lumpy stools and other dehydration-related symptoms, you should seek medical attention to find out what is happening.
