Constipation is one of the most common yet under-discussed digestive problems in Bangalore — affecting people of all ages, from young professionals to expectant mothers to senior citizens. At Healing Hands Clinic, we treat constipation not just as a symptom, but as a root cause of several anorectal diseases including piles (haemorrhoids), fissures, and fistulas. Our patented herbal medications offer a safe, natural solution for lasting relief.
What Is Constipation & Why Is It So Common in Bangalore?
Constipation is defined as having fewer than three bowel movements per week, or passing hard, dry, or lumpy stools that are painful or difficult to pass. In a fast-paced city like Bangalore, the combination of a sedentary desk job lifestyle, late-night eating, low water intake, and high-stress work culture makes constipation extremely prevalent.
Studies suggest that nearly 22% of urban Indians suffer from chronic constipation — and in IT-heavy cities like Bangalore, the numbers are even higher. Long sitting hours, irregular meal schedules, and low dietary fibre are major contributors.
Left untreated, chronic constipation is one of the leading causes of piles, fissures, and rectal prolapse — conditions that our specialists treat daily at Healing Hands Clinic across all four Bangalore branches.
Recognise the Symptoms of Constipation
Don’t ignore these warning signs. Constipation often goes unaddressed because people assume it will resolve on its own. Here are the most common symptoms to watch out for:
- Fewer than 3 bowel movements per week
- Hard, lumpy, or dry stools that are difficult to pass
- Straining or pain during bowel movements
- Sensation of incomplete evacuation after passing stool
- Bloating and abdominal discomfort or heaviness
- Bleeding during or after bowel movements (may indicate piles)
- Fatigue, low energy, and poor appetite
- Chronic constipation alternating with loose stools
If you experience bleeding, severe pain, or constipation lasting more than 3 weeks, please consult our specialists immediately. These could be early signs of piles or fissures requiring prompt treatment.
Common Causes of Constipation — Especially in Bangalore’s Urban Lifestyle
- Low fibre diet : Processed foods, fast food, and a lack of fruits and vegetables in daily meals leads to poor stool bulk and slow bowel movements.
- Dehydration : Bangalore’s warm climate combined with heavy coffee and tea consumption leads to inadequate water intake — a primary cause of hard stools.
- Sedentary lifestyle : Long hours sitting at a desk (IT professionals, students, drivers) slow bowel motility significantly.
- Stress and anxiety : The gut-brain connection is powerful. High work pressure and stress directly impact bowel regularity.
- Irregular meal timings : Skipping meals, late dinners, and inconsistent eating schedules disrupt the body’s natural digestive rhythm.
- Medications : Certain pain killers, antidepressants, iron supplements, and antacids cause constipation as a side effect.
- Pregnancy : Hormonal changes during pregnancy slow the digestive system, making constipation extremely common in expecting mothers.
- Age-related slowdown : In senior citizens, reduced physical activity and slower metabolism make constipation a chronic concern.
- Ignoring the urge : Repeatedly suppressing the urge to go — common in office settings — trains the bowel to respond less effectively.

The Link Between Constipation and Piles (Haemorrhoids)
At Healing Hands Clinic, one of the most important things we educate our patients about is this: untreated constipation is the single biggest cause of piles.
When you strain repeatedly during hard, difficult-to-pass stools, the increased pressure on the rectal
veins causes them to swell and form haemorrhoids (piles). Over time, this straining also leads to:
- Anal Fissures — painful cuts or tears in the skin around the anus caused by hard stool passing.
- Anal Fistula — an infected channel that forms between the anal canal and skin, often starting with an abscess aggravated by straining.
- Rectal Prolapse — weakening of the muscles and tissues holding the rectum in place due to chronic straining.
This is why at Healing Hands Clinic, we treat constipation as part of our holistic piles and fistula treatment programme. Treating piles without addressing constipation is incomplete care.

- Piles (Haemorrhoids)
- Anal Fissure

10 Lifestyle Tips to Relieve Constipation in Bangalore
Alongside our herbal Constac medication, these daily habits will dramatically improve your bowel health:
- Drink 8–10 glasses of water daily — especially important in Bangalore’s warm climate. Start your morning with two glasses of warm water.
- Add high-fibre foods to every meal — rajma, dal, whole grains, ragi, flaxseeds, papaya, guava, and banana are excellent options easily available in Bangalore.
- Never ignore the urge to go. Delaying bowel movements teaches your body to suppress natural signals and worsens constipation over time.
- Take a 20-minute walk daily — physical movement stimulates intestinal contractions and speeds up bowel transit time significantly.
- Establish a fixed morning toilet routine — the body’s gastrocolic reflex is strongest 30 minutes after waking up. Use this window every day.
- Reduce processed, fried, and low-fibre foods — maida-based breads, biscuits, and fast food slow digestion considerably.
- Use a squat position for bowel movements wherever possible — it straightens the anorectal angle and makes evacuation much easier and complete.
- Manage stress proactively — yoga, meditation, or even 5 minutes of deep breathing a day significantly improves gut motility.
- Reduce excess tea and coffee — while one cup is fine, excess caffeine dehydrates the body and can worsen constipation.
- Consult early — if constipation persists for more than 2 weeks despite lifestyle changes, visit your nearest Healing Hands Clinic branch. Early intervention prevents piles and fissures.
