You have problem of constipation that can solve by diet modification.
Do exercise regularly atleast 30 minutes.
Drink more water. Avoid alcohol drinking and smoking. Avoid fatty foods and oily foods.
Take more high fiber foods like whole grain, black beans...etc Eat fresh fruits and green vegetables.
Get bowel habit at same time . You can take bulk forming agent like psyllium or methyl cellulose...etc
osmatic laxative like polyethylene glycol or sorbital can use. Stool softner can use. After taking this much care still problems are present than abdominal ultrasonography is helpful for diagnosis.
Take care. THANKS.
