Constipation

Acute constipation

This is not normal and requires a medical assessment and examination. It is possibly due to an obstruction. Please contact us.

Chronic constipation

This is where you are straining, incompletely emptying or feeling a blockage in 1 out of every 4 motions or you move your bowel less than 3 times per week.

There are many possible causes such as local factors in your rectum, endocrine causes, inflammation in the bowel or even bowel cancer. Help is available and you should be assessed. Please contact us.
