What is constipation?

Constipation is characterized by uncomfortable or irregular bowel movements (no bowel movement between 2-3 days). Whatever your symptoms and complaints of constipation are, it can be very uncomfortable and annoying when stool is hard to pass.

Occasional constipation can happen to anyone from time to time. Because we know how frustrating and stressful these periods can be, we can help identify the causes for constipation and how to prevent them.

Constipation is a very common problem in kids. It usually isn't a cause for concern.
