Coming soonChronic idiopathic constipation is a functional gastrointestinal disorder of the lower digestive tract characterized by persistent, difficult, infrequent, or incomplete defecation lacking an identifiable mechanical, structural, systemic, or medication-induced secondary etiology.
Predominantly affecting adults, with higher prevalence observed in females and older individuals, it manifests clinically as fewer than three spontaneous bowel movements per week, excessive straining, hard or lumpy stools, and sensations of anorectal obstruction.
Pathophysiologically, the condition encompasses heterogeneous and often overlapping mechanisms, including normal transit constipation, delayed colonic transit, and pelvic floor or anorectal evacuation dyssynergia.
