Chronic idiopathic constipation
Chronic idiopathic constipation is a long-term condition characterized by infrequent bowel movements or difficulty passing stools, without a clear medical cause. "Chronic" means it persists over time, while "idiopathic" indicates that the exact reason is unknown. Symptoms may include straining during bowel movements, a feeling of incomplete evacuation, and abdominal discomfort. This condition can significantly impact daily life but can often be managed through dietary changes, exercise, and medications. Consulting a healthcare provider is essential for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment.
