A member asked:
Can constipation cause pain..? cnstnt pain fr months in lower left side of abdomen..doc says it's due to constipation..sonogrphy reports are normal..!

Yes: Even moderate constipation can be painful. Drink sufficient (clean, healthy) water. That would be at least 6-8 8oz glasses a day. Also, try to include fruits/veggies in diet and some olive oil can help. Never put off for later an impulse to have a bowel movement. At an urge - go to the toilet. Best!
