Doctor : 1. Modify your diet.
Doctor : Let your diet contain plenty of fibres such as green vegetables in it.
Doctor : Be regular with your dietary habits.
Doctor : 2. Restrict using spicy food and caffeine.
Doctor : 3. Antispasmodic drugs such as Tab meftal spas can be taken whenever there is severe pain.
Doctor : 4. Physical exercises, yoga, meditation are helpful.
Doctor : 5. Since this condition is affected by stress and lack of sleep, proper stress management and regular sleeping habits are helpful.
Doctor : 6. Watch out for your stools, if there are blood and mucus in the stools, you will need colonoscopic examination.
Doctor : in which the lower colon has to be studied for possible signs of inflammation or infection, in which case you will need appropriate treatment.
