I Have A Problem Of Constipation . Kindly Suggest A
Describe your symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Kindly describe your symptoms in detail so that I am better able to help. How long do you have constipation, how bad is it, what makes it worse/better, what have you tried?
Most common cause of constipation is inadequate water intake. Most cases can be managed with increasing water intake to more than 2 L per day, increasing fiber intake in form of fruits, taking fruit juice and milk which are natural laxatives.
Otherwise routine laxative intake is not recommended as it is habit forming and laxatives may have side effects. However laxatives like lactulose syrup can be tried for mild cases. If this doesnt work then dulcolax may be tried in form of solution or fleet/enema.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
