Abstract
Constipation affects nearly everybody from time to time. But when it becomes chronic, constipation is a more complicated condition that can often be misunderstood and cause those affected a lot of distress. This article examines why chronic constipation in adults is an underestimated condition, and outlines some potential solutions for better care.
