Hi.. Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC.. I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.. As per your complain it seems that you have acute constipation and can be due to a number of causes like sudden change in dietary habits, lack of dietary fibres, sedantary lifestyle, stress, dehydration, diabetes,while conditions like Irritable bowel syndrome can also be a cause. I would suggest you to take a high fibre diet, add plenty of green leafy vegetables, fruits and salads in diet.. Drink plenty of water.. Do moderate workout and take walk after meals.. You can also take stool softeners like Docusate and laxatives like Polyethylene glycol.. In case if still there is no improvement, you can consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and investigations like Colonoscopy can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly.. You can be advised prescription medicines like Linclotide and Lubiprostone.. Hope this information helps.. Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
