Is Parkinson’s disease linked to constipation?
short by / on Monday, 24 March, 2025
Constipation in Parkinson’s disease results from slow gut motility, muscle dysfunction, and medication side effects. It worsens symptoms and affects quality of life. Treatment includes stool softeners, prokinetic agents, fiber-rich diets, hydration, and exercise. Managing constipation improves comfort, mobility, and medication absorption, enhancing overall well-being for Parkinson’s patients.
