Constipation is a common issue for both men and women. Mayo Clinic defines constipation as having fewer than three bowel movements a week, but it varies from person to person.

In this Mayo Clinic Minute, physical therapist Laura Meihofer explains how pelvic floor muscles impact how often you go, and offers tips on how to deal with the issue.
