Constipation

What is Constipation?

Constipation is a common digestive problem where a person has infrequent bowel movements (less than 3 times per week) or passes hard, dry, painful stool. It may also involve excessive straining, a feeling of incomplete evacuation, or bloating.

At Dhuliyan Piles Clinic, we provide advanced and holistic management of chronic constipation to prevent complications like piles, fissure, and fistula.
