Chemotherapy effects vary from patient to patient. The extent, type and length of any side effects often depend on the type of drugs used, the dosage and the overall well-being of the patient.

Chemotherapy effects can be intense depending on the types of drugs being administered, the dose and the general vitality of the patient. Healthy cells that reproduce rapidly, like the cells in the bone marrow, stomach, mouth, hair and intestines, are very susceptible to the damage caused by chemotherapy. This is why so many of the side effects of chemotherapy impact these areas of the body.

Constipation is one of the most annoying conditions that tells you that either your colon is not working properly or that you have some underlying gastrointestinal disease.

Constipation is one of the most annoying conditions where the fecal matter traveling through your colon remains too long in your colon right before traveling out the rectum. It is a condition that tells you that either your colon is not working properly or that you have some underlying gastrointestinal disease.

Constipation is generally a result of not following a proper diet in your daily routine. Your diet lacks enough fluids and fiber contents that promote good movement of digested foods through the intestines and colon.
