Constipation
कब्ज की गंभीर समस्या

कब्ज (Constipation) एक ऐसी स्थिति है जिसमें सप्ताह में 3 बार से कम मल त्याग होता है, मल बहुत कड़ा, सूखा या कम मात्रा में आता है, और मल त्याग के दौरान अत्यधिक जोर लगाना पड़ता है। यदि यह समस्या 3 महीने से अधिक समय तक बनी रहे, तो इसे क्रोनिक कब्ज (Chronic Constipation) कहा जाता है। इसके मुख्य कारणों में आहार में फाइबर की कमी, पानी की कमी, धीमी आंत की गतिशीलता या पेल्विक फ्लोर की मांसपेशियों का असंतुलन शामिल हैं।

Symptom Overview

Understanding Constipation

कब्ज में मल त्याग कठिन और अनियमित हो जाता है। यह कम पानी, कम फाइबर और आंतों की धीमी गति (sluggish colon) के कारण होती है।

Doctor's Reassurance

"Most constipation cases resolve with dietary changes, but chronic constipation needs a specialist's approach. Dr. Akhilesh Yadav checks for organic blockage, slow colon transit, and rectal evacuation disorders to tailor safe therapies."
