Hi,
Noted your short and specific history.
It indicates that you have problem with emptying the bowel regularly.
In such a case I would advise the following:
Send the stool for tests.
Take Isabgol husk with 2 glassed of water and see the results and adjust the dosages as per your requirement.
You can try various laxatives and stool softeners and continue with the ones that suits you and does not give any adverse effects.
It is also equally important to know the cause of such a problem.
The causes can be dietary changes.
Colonic problem like stricture,cancer or any other condition.
You may need a colonoscopy and CT scan of abdomen to know further diagnosis so that an appropriate management an be done.
Take high fiber diet, plenty of oral fluids.
Avoid the foods that cause constipation.
Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
