Chronic constipation might seem like a minor inconvenience, but left unchecked, it can lead to serious health complications. Many people brush off occasional irregularity, not realizing their body is sending important signals. The truth is, when bowel movements become consistently difficult or infrequent, it’s time to pay attention before more significant problems develop.
The digestive system plays a crucial role in overall health, and constipation creates a domino effect of issues. Straining during bowel movements can cause hemorrhoids or anal fissures. The prolonged presence of waste in the colon allows toxins more time to be reabsorbed into the bloodstream. Over time, chronic constipation may contribute to diverticulosis, where small pouches form in the colon wall, potentially leading to painful infections.
