December is Constipation Awareness Month

December is Constipation Awareness Month. Constipation is a prevalent health issue that affects 20% of adults and 16% of children in the United States. Often, patients will suffer in silence due to its social stigma. In December, we raise awareness to acknowledge the various dimensions of constipation, including its physical impact, mental health connection, and the social stigma many face.  Use the hashtags #ConstipationRelief and #ConstipationAwarenessMonth on social media to amplify the voices of the patient community.
