Pain relief information from Acumedpatches.comPain relief information from Acumedpatches.comConstipation is difficulty in passing motions, usually because they are too hard. Constipation may be diagnosed if you pass bowel motions less than twice a week, or if you have to strain to pass hard motions more than 25% of the time. Persistent constipation and straining at stool can also lead to a number of other problems including haemorrhoids, diverticular disease, anal fissures and even rectal prolapse which will in turn make constipation worse.
ACUMED patches can be placed directly over the area for relief of constipation as illustrated on the body maps below. Alternatively, one or more of the patches can be placed on any of the acupressure points outlined here by red dots.
