  • Less than three bowel movements per weak
  • Hard, dry, or lumpy stools
  • Straining to pass stools
  • A sensation of fullness or Sense of incomplete evacuation of bowel
  • Pain during bowel movement
How is constipation related to urinary symptoms?

Constipation causes the colon to enlarge inserting pressure on the bladder and not letting it store urine as much as it is supposed to or it may block the urinary outlet making one always feel bladder full, eventually leading to increased frequency and urgency at urination.

Having that sensation of a constant rush for urination leading to increased frequency and sudden urge to pee is called (OAB) overactive bladder.

Drinking plenty of oral fluids will also help soften the stools, making them easier to pass.
