A brief introduction to Facts about Constipation
Being constipated refers to an infrequent and hard to pass bowel movement. The patient goes through in such a situation where movements of bowel become difficult and hard to pass.

Once it is gone, and life is back on the track, you will feel yourself relaxed and comfortable.
