Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to constipation. I recommend using stool softeners such as Dulcolax. I also recommend using daily probiotics. I suggest drinking liquids and using a diet full of fruit and vegetables.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
