Chronic constipation can have serious health consequences if ignored.

Our digestive system breaks down the food we eat, allowing the body to absorb vital nutrients. During the digestion process, unused food residues are converted into waste products in the form of feces, which are expelled from the body during bowel movements.

However, when digestive system problems occur, one of the most common complaints is constipation. This condition can lead to abdominal pain, difficulty defecating, and bloating.

Constipation often occurs as a result of dietary changes.

The truth is that everyone has suffered from constipation at least once in their life. But when this condition becomes chronic, it can lead to serious health complications.

A telling case is one in which an X-ray of a woman suffering from two weeks of constipation shocked doctors.

Due to her body’s inability to rid itself of the accumulated waste products, her colon expanded to such an extent that it reached her chest, close to her heart.

Chronic constipation also led to the smoothing of the natural folds of the intestine, which are important for its normal function.

If not treated in time, this condition can be life-threatening.
