Symptom #7: Constipation
Constipation occurs when the bowel movements are hard or infrequent. Some associated symptoms of constipation are abdominal bloating, pain, and the feeling of incomplete evacuation.
Constipation can result in complications such as anal fissure, hemorrhoids, and fecal impaction. It can be caused by dehydration, irritable bowel syndrome, pelvic floor disorders, Parkinson’s disease (low dopamine levels), colon cancer, hypothyroidism, and side effects of medications such as opioids. Management of constipation includes adequate hydration, exercise, fiber intake, and laxatives.
