Hi,

You need some dietary and lifestyle changes to avoid this as:
-Take plenty of fluids, try fibre based diet and reduce consumption of meat-based products.
-You also take fruits like apples, pears.
-Have a light exercise daily in the morning.

This will alone help you to relieve from constipation and improve your bowel movements.

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

Regards,
Dr. SOHEEL HUSSAIN ZARGAR,
