Constipation is More Common in the Elderly
Hard Stools
One of the things that can tell if the body is just on a less frequent schedule or is constipated is through the stool itself. Does it come easily or is it a hard stool? If everything flows smoothly, there is likely not a problem. But if the person is forced to push and strain to get a hard stool through their system, that is a sign that they may need constipation relief.
Pain and Discomfort
There are various types of pain and discomfort that are associated with constipation. Some people will feel bloated and like their stomach is very tight and overly full. Others will cramp and feel pains throughout their abdomen as the hard stool tries to make its way through the system.
