Brief Answer:
Hello XXXX

Detailed Answer:
hi
welcome to HCM
Thank you for your query
I understand your concerns
We will need to do some basic evaluation like thyroid function tests, stool occult blood for three days.
This will enable us to rule out other causes of constipation which can be treated differently.
Also try the following things which will help you in long run:-
-Increase your water intake
-Exercise regularly
-Take high fibre diet like salads fruits
-Avoid smoking tobacco if any
-Can take lactifibre powder 2 tsp at night after consulting your physician
If symptoms still are persistent, then need to visit a gastroenterologist who might ask for a colonoscopy to rule out other causes of constipation
Hope this answers your query
Wish you a speedy recovery
Happy to help
