Causes for Constipation


It's often difficult to identify the cause. However, there are a number of things that increase the risk of constipation, including:
Causes for Constipation
  • not eating enough fiber, such as fruit, vegetables and cereals
  • a change in your routine or lifestyle, such as a change in your eating habits
  • ignoring the urge to pass stools
  • side effects of certain medication
  • not drinking enough fluids
  • anxiety or depression
In children, poor diet, fear about using the toilet and poor toilet training can all be responsible.
