Constipation usually happens when your bowel movements become infrequent or hard to pass, and it can be due to multiple reasons — not enough fiber in your diet, dehydration, lack of physical activity, ignoring the urge to go, or certain medical conditions like IBS, thyroid issues, or even side effects of medicines.

In some cases, chronic constipation can also be linked to underlying gastrointestinal problems, which is why it’s important to get it checked if it lasts for weeks. If you’re in North Delhi, you might want to consult a specialist like Dr. Anando Sengupta — he’s a gastroenterologist who can diagnose the root cause and suggest diet changes, lifestyle tips, or treatment as needed.
