Constipation or diarrhea Constipation and diarrhea are both issues with bowel movements. Constipation is when bowel movements are not frequent enough (less than three per week) or hard to pass. Diarrhea, on the other hand, is when the stools are loose and watery. It is not uncommon to have a short episode of constipation or diarrhea, but these conditions are more serious when they are chronic. Chronic constipation or diarrhea usually indicates an underlying problem.
