Hello,
I would suggest to get a thyroid function test done as it can be one of the causes of constipation, in case the thyroid function is normal I would suggest to start on fibre supplements an take them for at least 8 to 12 weeks. In case your symptoms persist in fibre supplemts then you might need additional medications to find the cause of constipation.
Hope this helps
Do get back in case you have further queries
