Patients with constipation may experience symptoms such as reduced bowel movement frequency, dry and hard stools, straining during defecation, and a sensation of incomplete or obstructed evacuation. If left untreated effectively, the condition may progress and lead to complications including anal fissures, rectal bleeding, hemorrhoids, and rectal prolapse. In daily life, patients are advised to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins and dietary fiber. Additionally, clockwise abdominal massage can help alleviate constipation symptoms.
