Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
1]yes, surely, you can safely use glycerine suppository safely.
2] Also, I will suggest Liquid DUPHALAC 15 ml at night with 250 ml of water, to be taken daily or alternate days as needed.
3] I will suggest indulging in a healthy diet and regular exercise regime.
Include plenty of fruits, salads, vegetables in the diet.
Have adequate water intake , say 8 – 10 glasses per day. Avoid deep fried foods, bakery products, and refined sugars.
Avoid substance abuse, if any.
This will help to regularize bowel movements.
4] I will suggest Tab DOXINATE 2 or 3 times a day to be taken 30 minutes before meals to avoid nausea & vomiting.

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
