After much of the digestion and absorption of nutrients, the unwanted food or stool which is in a liquid state flows to the large intestine or colon. Here, by means of a series of muscular contractions and relaxations, the stool is pushed or moved through the colon. As the stool moves, water is absorbed from the stool, making it more solid. Finally, the stool enters the rectum. When the rectum is full and stretched, the nerves of the rectum send signals to the brain. At this point, we decide whether to expel the stool or retain it. Going to the toilet and expelling the waste is a part of our daily routine.
However, sometimes due to slow muscle contractions, the stool passes slower than usual through the colon. As a result, excess water is absorbed, making the stool very hard. Such a condition in which an individual has hard stool that is difficult to expel is called constipation.
