Constipation

When Things Slow Down: Let’s Get Your Digestive System Back on Track

Constipation isn’t just inconvenient; it’s uncomfortable, frustrating, and often overlooked until it becomes a bigger issue. At OBUR Health, we help patients get to the root of the problem with constipation treatment in Houston that’s discreet, judgment-free, and based on science, not guesswork.

Whether it’s occasional bloating or long-term sluggish digestion, we offer virtual, in-clinic, and in-home appointments to restore comfort and confidence.

More Than Just “Not Going”

Contrary to popular belief, constipation doesn’t just mean skipping a day or two. It’s defined by infrequent, hard-to-pass stools, straining during bowel movements, or feeling like your body hasn’t emptied properly.

You might also experience:

  • Abdominal bloating or cramping
  • Nausea or loss of appetite
  • Headaches or fatigue
  • Hemorrhoids from straining
  • Difficulty concentrating
And when it lingers? It can interfere with your sleep, your work, and your peace of mind.
