Constipation is defined as having a bowel movement less than 3 times per week, occurring due to two main groups of causes: primary and secondary constipation. In particular, decreased intestinal motility is a risk factor that easily leads to constipation.

In addition to treating constipation, laxatives can also help you lose weight quickly, but this is only a temporary effect. If you abuse these drugs to lose weight, it can affect your health and cause dangerous complications.
