Suggest Treatment For Constipation And External Hemorrhoids

Hi. I am suffering from constipation from say 10 years roughly. I was operated for external hemorrhoids more than 5 years ago(i dont remember the year exactly). I am a student, so i have a less of physical work but on a day i average about 40 mins of walking not at a brisk pace though. I occasionally use piclin whenever i donot pass stools for 3-4 days. Generally my bowel frequency is once every 2-3 days. Please advice.

Hi,
So you are suffering from chronic constipation,only thing you need to take care is about your diet ,that is high fibre diet and consider a banana daily in the night before going to bed.
And if you are a smoker better to quit.
And you can use MOVICOL(poly ethylene glycol) Twice a day for atleast 1 week to be mixed in a glass of water and later once a day in the night and rest if needed.
With this your symptoms should improve.
Thank you
