What leads to the condition of constipation?

This condition of constipation arises when the colon or the large intestine absorbs water in excess amounts from the stool. This leads to hardening of the stool and it becomes difficult to push it out of the body. Constipation Medicine actually helps sort this problem out. 

A more detailed scenario is as follows: The food consumed moves through the digestive tract and the intestines gradually and slowly absorbs the nutrients. The food which is partially digested or is the waste moves into the large intestine from the small intestine and it gets converted into the stool. The colon absorbs water from the waste which is generated and this makes it more hard and also solid. In case of constipation, the food moves at a slower pace through the digestive tract. This gives the colon too much time for absorbing the water from the generated waste. This makes the stool hard and dry and also difficult to push it out of the body. Constipation Medicine should be consumed to get rid of the condition of constipation.
