Constipation: Relief which benefits your health.

Constipation is the most common intestinal disorder in Western societies.

In general, constipation is considered as a condition in which the frequency and/or the quantity of stools are reduced. 

There is no single cause of constipation, but constipation is frequently a side effect of medications or related to lifestyle factors. 

Consequently, a diagnosis of constipation is extremely individualistic as there is a range of criteria that needs to be considered.
