Constipation
Infrequent bowel movements? The range of “normal” ranges from three times a day to once every three days. But if the backup is causing discomfort, then you are constipated.
What is this condition?
There may be a mechanical reason for you being clogged up; often the intestinal muscles can have trouble transiting waste at a reasonable rate. As the stool is held, the large intestine will absorb its moisture, making it harder and drier (and more difficult to push out). Or there could be an issue with your rectal or sphincter muscles.
