Solving Stubborn Constipation: Understanding the Causes Behind Chronic Constipation
Chronic constipation is more than simply not opening your bowels every day. It can include hard or difficult stools, straining, bloating, incomplete emptying, reliance on laxatives or enemas, and even episodes of diarrhoea or faecal leakage.
