Our gastroenterologists have undergone extensive training in the evaluation of digestive diseases and are constipation management experts. Our mission is to provide safe and effective therapies in a warm and welcoming environment.
What Is Constipation?
If you have difficulty moving your bowels, you may be suffering from constipation. Constipation occurs when a person’s bowel movements are infrequent, less than once every three days, or when passing stool requires straining. Constipation should always be evaluated by a physician with a thorough consultation and examination to establish an accurate diagnosis and constipation treatment plan and to rule out a serious illness or condition.
When To See a Doctor?
If there is a change in bowel habits or new development of constipation, it’s essential to seek medical advice from the team of GI doctors for a thorough evaluation. Depending on your specific condition, you will most likely need to be tested for the presence of blood in your stool and may require a colonoscopy to rule out colon cancer.
However, with dietary and lifestyle modifications (such as adequate fiber and fluid intake and physical activity), you can usually manage constipation symptoms successfully. Laxatives and prescription drugs are sometimes required, and some people with extremely severe constipation may require further medical investigations and treatments. Your gastroenterologist can develop an effective constipation treatment plan for you.
