Article · Español
El estreñimiento (del latín stringĕre, apretar, comprimir) es una condición que consiste en la falta de movimiento regular de los intestinos, lo que produce una defecación infrecuente o con esfuerzo, generalmente de heces escasas y duras. La frecuencia defecatoria normal varía entre personas, desde un par de veces al día hasta tres veces a la semana. Puede considerarse un trastorno según altere o no la calidad de vida. En América se usan como sinónimos estitiquez o estiptiquez (del latín styptĭcus, y este a su vez del griego στυπτικός, astringente); y en medicina también se le denomina constipación de vientre o intestinal.
