8/22 Talk about symptoms and treatment of constipation.

It's basically when you don't have regular bowel movement(s).
* bowel movement: 배변, 장운동
ex> He's been constipated because of irregular bowel movement(s).

This is due to hard feces that have a difficult time passing through your digestive track.
ex> Did you see how the magician made the ball pass through that wall?

Those with constipation can be on the toilet for a long time to no avail.
* to no avail: with little or no success
ex> I waited and waited for him to call, but to no avail.

If they do go, the stool can sometimes come out like rabbit pellets.
* pellet: a small hard ball of any substance, often of soft material that has become hard

And even after completing their business, they may feel unsatisfied like there's more to go.
* do one's business: 배변하다, 방뇨하다.

Constipation can be a sign of poor lifestyle habits.
ex> Poor lifestyle habits can lead to poor health and a weaker body.

If worse comes to worst, enemas can help clear your system.
ex> If worse comes to worst and I fail my exam, I'll just get a tutor.
