Constipation: Evaluation and Management.
Missouri Medicine 2018 May
Constipation is defined as the infrequent passage of stools or difficulty with evacuation of stools. Constipation can be classified as primary or secondary, and primary constipation can be further divided into slow transit constipation or outlet obstruction.

Treatment can consist of dietary changes, medications, physical therapy, and possibly surgery in refractory cases.
