Will Drinking Water Help In Treating Constipation?
This is an embarrassing question but i can't poop and I'm scared of forcing it out. What should I do? And I'm only 12 years old and i cant go buy some products to help it. Will drinking a whole big bottle of water help loosen it and it will come out easily?

Hello,
It is nothing to worry if it is constipation no need to have any medicine for it but just have more fiber containing diet, drink lot of water, keep regular habit of going for toilet even in absence of need of it, be there and sit there for while no matter if you do not pass the stool, do not exert any force, I advise you to inform it to your parents and discuss it with them.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
