Hi...
Welcome to healthcare magic.
You have problem of constipation that may be because of lack of high fiber foods and water intake in diet or lack of gastric motility or other reasons...
Stool softner is helpful for constipation problem.
After taking stool softner problem is still there than consult a gastroenterologist for further treatment.
Bulk forming agent like psyllium is also helpful..
Get well soon..
Thank you.
