Thanks for contacting HCM with your health concern

1. Since he is a diagnosed case thus look for other common causes of constipation like:
. taking excess dry/cold/astringent diet [fibre less],low wateer intake,
. any worm infestation
. any associated anemia,irritable bowel syndrome, or neurological disorder
. use or intake of medicines like: morphine,iron,lead,nutmeg,catechu, or any other astringent?
. any iron,aluminium,calcium containing antacids? or laxative abuse
. check with Thyroid Function test and/or any depression,personality dysfunction, physical inactivity

If the physical examination and investigation(s) comes normal then continue with:

.Regular bowel habits with attempted bowel movements 15-20 minutes after breakfast when gastro colic reflex is strongest.
.High fibre diet and abdominal exercises
. Adequate fluid intake.
. Abhyarishta/Panchskara churan/ Tab/Cap Herbolax are recommended prescription drugs for the same.
