Constipation
Have you been struggling with irregular bow movements? Are your stools dry, hard or lumpy? Do you feel regularly bloated and nauseous? You may be battling with constipation without realising it. It’s important to nip this in the bud early as constipation can lead to a lack of energy, reduced appetite and stomach aches. Constipation affects women more than men and is more likely to occur at certain times, including pregnancy and in the days preceding menstruation, and becomes increasingly common after menopause.
Symptoms of Constipation
These can include:
- You have fewer than three bowel movements a week.
- Your stools are dry, hard and/or lumpy.
- Your stools are difficult or painful to pass.
- You have a stomach ache or cramps.
- You feel bloated and nauseous.
- You feel that you haven’t completely emptied your bowels after a movement.
Most cases of mild to moderate constipation can be managed by you at home. Self-care starts by taking an inventory of what you eat and drink and then making changes. Recording your meals and cutting out unhealthy low fibre foods is a great step in the right direction. As well as a change in diet it’s also very important to get active and exercise. Exercise can be one of the most important steps to reducing constipation.
Causes of Constipation
- Eating foods low in fibre.
- Not drinking enough water
- Not getting enough exercise.
- Changes in your regular routine, such as travelling or eating or going to bed at different times.
- Eating large amounts of milk or cheese.
- Stress.
- Resisting the urge to have a bowel movement.
