Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini and I am pleased to assist you.

For a good bowel movement you need to eat a high fiber diet and drink lot of fluids. Avoiding sedentary lifestyle and increased physical activity is also essential.
Since you are already taking softovac and is not finding relief, you can consider taking other laxatives like lactulose along with it.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
