Constipation  occurs when stool or waste material moves too slowly through the large intestine. Feces that stay in the bowel too long before elimination become hard and dry. This results in difficult, painful, and infrequent bowel movements. In most cases, constipation is harmless. It's not a disease, but it might be a symptom of a disease.

Many elderly people believe they are constipated when they're not, thinking that less than one bowel movement a day is abnormal. In fact, as little as twice a week is fine so long as you go when you feel the need. In contrast, infants may go anywhere from 5 times daily to every fifth day! (source)
