Suggest Treatment For Constipation
I have always cycled between being constipated and having smooth or way-too-smooth bowel movements. I'm 49, and have noticed that constipation is a more common thing, and it can be very uncomfortable trying to eliminate fecal matter. Could this be from prostate aging?
