Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Dear Doctor, I am supposedly a 'healthy' female 21 year old but I am having constipation problems that have lasted a month and am still not able to go properly now. I measure 1.65m and weigh 59 kg, I eat plenty of vegetables and lots of fruit and always have. I don't know what to do anymore and taking laxatives is not the answer. I would really appreciate some suggestions.
Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis. Detail history and investigation give exact idea about problems.. Start a treatment as per reason behind it..
Bulk forming agent like psyllium is helpful in constipation problem. Do a regular exercise more than minute 20 minutes.. Drink more water per day.. Avoid gaseous foods and fatty foods and junk foods.. Fruits like kiwi and peach helpful in digestion. Use garlic and ginger in food for proper digestion..
I hope this will help you. Get well soon.. Thank you.
