  1. Constipation: A Global Concern Or An Underestimated Health Issue? It’s crucial to acknowledge the importance of Constipation Awareness Month, a period dedicated to raising awareness about a health issue that often remains in the shadows. Constipation, characterized by infrequent or difficult bowel movements, frequently eludes the attention it truly warrants in healthcare settings. The consequence of this oversight is a lack of comprehensive understanding, leading to misconceptions and suboptimal care for those affected. According to a study highlighted by the National Library of Medicine, the global diagnosis of constipation in adults averages around 16%, varying widely from 0.7% to 79%. For adults aged 60 to 110 years, the prevalence spikes to 33.5%. This condition’s diverse nature significantly impacts patient quality of life and healthcare resource utilization.
