Constipation in men is a condition that is characterised by infrequent bowel movements. Physiotherapy with Physio.co.uk is an effective way of relieving symptoms that are associated with constipation.


What is constipation?



Constipation occurs when bowel movements become abnormally infrequent and can affect men of all ages. Constipation is when faeces (stools) become hard, and difficult or painful to pass. This can mean that stools are not passed as often as they normally should i.e. less than three times a week. You may have to strain more than usual and you may be unable to fully empty your bowels. The severity of constipation can vary significantly and constipation can be experienced for a short period of time or symptoms may be experienced more long term.
