How Can Chronic Constipation Be Treated?

I have been constipated for months. I ve tried fibers but they seem to clog me worse and cause awful stomach aches with it. I have an internal hemmroid that keeps bleeding so the constant constipation isn t allowing it to heal. Milk of magnesia seems to work but I was told I shouldn t take it for very long. Can I take milk of magnesia daily?

Hi..

Welcome to healthcare magic.

As you mentioned you have problem of chronic constipation problem that may be because of lack of gastric motility or thyroid problem or irritable bowel problem or intestinal obstruction or other reasons..
Milk of magnesia not use for long time.
Drink more water per day..
Bulk forming agent like psyllium is helpful in constipation.
For hemorroid problem avoid excessive straining at toilet time.
Take a high fiber foods and fruits..
Consult a gastroenterologist for further treatment.

I hope this will help you.
Get well soon..
