AbstractConstipation is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders encountered in clinical practice. Its prevalence increases with age and it is more common in the female population. Although often trivialised as a common and minor problem, chronic constipation is associated with considerable impairment of quality of life and is a significant burden on healthcare budgets. This article gives an overview of the management of constipation in adults, including assessment and treatment.
