How Can Chronic Constipation Be Treated?

I had severe constipation for over an hour and took a suppository. It took about 3 hours of pushing, but tried to keep it as light as possible. After the huge movement finally came I have swelling around the anal area and numbness. Should I go to doctor or just wait till morning to see if swelling goes down.

Hi,

Just wait till the morning, it will most likely subside. If constipation is a chronic problem for you, I suggest you see your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
