Constipation is characterized by hard, dry, or lumpy stools due to excess water removal in the colon. Diarrhea, on the other hand, results from insufficient water absorption, leading to watery stools.
Constipation is a condition characterized by infrequent bowel movements (less than 3 times per week) with hard, dry, or lumpy stools that are often painful to pass. This is caused by excess water removal in the colon, leading to hardened feces. On the other hand, diarrhea is the opposite condition, where large amounts of water are not absorbed, resulting in loose, watery stools.
