What is Constipation?
Constipation refers to a common digestive issue where individuals have difficulty passing stool or have infrequent bowel movements. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor diet, dehydration, certain medications, or a lack of physical activity. In addiction recovery, opioid use can also lead to constipation as a side effect.
Treatment for constipation typically includes dietary changes, increased water intake, and sometimes medications to help relieve symptoms and promote regular bowel movements.
