Chronic constipation is a persistent digestive disorder characterized by difficulty passing stools, reduced frequency of bowel movements (less than three per week) and/or a sensation of incomplete evacuation. Unlike occasional constipation, it usually lasts longer than six months and can have a significant impact on quality of life.
Chronic constipation can result from a variety of internal or external factors, including:
Chronic constipation should not be ignored, as it can lead to complications such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and permanent loss of quality of life. Early, personalized treatment can restore normal bowel function and prevent these inconveniences.

Relief from these symptoms is important for improving your quality of life. Consult one of our partner healthcare professionals in Turkey for an accurate diagnosis and to determine the appropriate treatment.
The diagnosis of chronic constipation in Turkey is based on the assessment of symptoms, physical examination and in some cases additional tests. Here are the key elements in the diagnosis of chronic constipation:
A thorough discussion between the patient and the doctor is essential for an accurate diagnosis. Constipation is often perceived as a taboo subject and causes a lot of anxiety (even though in most cases it is not necessarily a health risk). The doctor will first determine whether the patient is actually constipated (less than 3 bowel movements per week) and then assess its impact on quality of life.
The medical interview will focus in particular on:
A physical examination, especially of the rectal area, is performed to detect any stool accumulation, hemorrhoidal lesions, anal fissures, or other abnormalities (such as tumors). This examination also assesses anal sphincter tone and identifies suggestive clinical signs.
Depending on the case, blood tests or a colonoscopy may be ordered to rule out other underlying conditions that may be causing constipation. These tests are recommended under certain circumstances, especially if you have worrisome symptoms or specific risk factors.
If constipation persists despite medical treatment and a balanced diet, more specialized tests may be considered. These include
These tests allow us to identify the precise mechanisms at the root of chronic constipation and propose an appropriate treatment.
Thanks to Turquie Santé, you can benefit from a specialized consultation with an expert in digestive disorders in Turkey. You will receive personalized support to identify the exact cause of your chronic constipation and receive appropriate treatment.
Treatment of chronic constipation in Turkey generally follows several stages. These include lifestyle changes, medication and surgery.
To relieve chronic or occasional constipation, a high-fiber diet is essential. It's recommended to consume between 20 and 40 grams of fiber per day, preferably from fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes. Adequate hydration and regular physical activity complement these measures to promote optimal bowel transit.
If dietary changes are not sufficient, medications may be prescribed:
For persistent constipation, stimulant laxatives may be considered. These activate bowel motility and increase water secretion in the colon. However, they may cause side effects such as abdominal pain or diarrhea. For anorectal constipation, techniques such as enema or perineal re-education may be suggested.
In rare cases where chronic constipation is resistant to conventional treatment, surgery may be considered:
The management of chronic constipation in Turkey is based on a multidisciplinary approach, ranging from hygienic-dietary measures to medical and surgical treatments tailored to each individual patient.
