Summary

Constipation usually is a short-term disorder which can be controlled by simple measures. However, the condition may reflect a more serious underlying disorder that can only be detected and treated by the physician. For chronic constipation, it is important that the patient understands how this occurs. Adequate dietary fiber is usually the first and perhaps the only step that needs to be taken.
