Hard Stool

2025-06-27 03:15:26
Drinking an adequate amount of water, engaging in daily exercise, meeting the daily fiber intake, refraining from smoking and alcohol consumption, and ensuring sufficient sleep are essential practices. However, despite these efforts, individuals may still experience hard stools and constipation. I am not on any medication.
