The most common gastrointestinal complaint here in the United States is constipation. At least 2.5 million people visit their doctors each year due to constipation. A lack of regular, soft bowel movements can lead to complications. It is important not to ignore constipation since it can lead to several complications and health problems in the long run. A family doctor or general practitioner will likely be your first source of medical care for constipation. Depending on the severity of constipation, your doctor may refer you to a gastroenterologist (specialist in digestive disorders). It's a good idea to be prepared for appointments because they can be brief and there will often be a lot of information to cover.
