Constipation

Constipation is a condition of the digestive system where a person (or other
animal) experiences difficulty in eliminating feces.

Some of the main causes of constipation include:

   * Constriction, where part of the intestine or rectum is narrowed or
     blocked, not allowing feces to move past
   * Paralysis, where peristaltic action is diminished or absent, so that
     feces are not moved along
   * Excessive drying of feces, forming a hard bulk that cannot be
     eliminated
   * Insufficient intake of food or dietary fiber, so that a suitable bolus
     is not formed
   * Psychosomatic constipation, based on anxiety or unfamiliarity with
     surroundings

These causes may have a multiplicity of causes themselves.

People often take laxatives to try to eliminate constipation.

Screaming Jay Hawkins wrote and sang "Constipation Blues" while suffering a
serious bout. The Bonzo Dog Band recorded "The Strain" on the same subject.
