How Constipation Works

Slow Movement of Stool – The colon absorbs water from waste as it moves through the intestines. If stool moves too slowly, too much water is absorbed, making it hard and dry.
Weakened or Uncoordinated Muscle Contractions – The muscles in the intestines and rectum need to contract properly to push stool out. If they are weak or uncoordinated (as in conditions like pelvic floor dyssynergia), stool gets stuck.
Lack of Fiber and Fluids – Fiber adds bulk to stool and helps it move smoothly, while water keeps it soft. A diet low in fiber and fluids can make constipation worse.
Hormonal and Nerve Signals – Hormones and nerve signals regulate bowel movements. Conditions like thyroid disorders or nerve damage can disrupt these signals, leading to constipation.
Ignoring the Urge to Go – Regularly delaying bowel movements can train the body to hold in stool longer, making constipation a recurring problem.
