Constipation, Piles, Sweating On Eating Spicy Food. Using Homeopathic, Laxative Medication. Treatment For Constipation?
Question: For last one and half years I am suffering from the problem of Constipation and piles. I consulted 3 physicians and 1 gastroenterologist but problem continues. Right now I am taking homeopathic medicine (laxative) which is keeping the problem under check but not curing it. Whenever I take spicy food problem aggravates. I am also having acne at this age for last 6 months. Please suggest what should be my line of treatment and also recommend life style modification. I have one unique symptom as well -whenever I take Hot spicy food I sweat profusely form my Scalp area to the extent that my hair becomes totally wet. I am not sure is this an indication of any problem in my body.
Hi and thanks for the query
Sweating while eating spicy food is common as the two process of sweating and salivation/ taste sensation are modulated by similar nerves and brain nuclei.
Acne may be the side effect of the drugs that you are taking
Constipation can be because of -
1) Slow colonic motility - usually needs continuing treatment with prokinetics and laxatives
2) Pelvic dysfunction - where there is inco-ordination between and among the pelvic muscles and the abdominal muscles making evacuation difficult. This is managed by bio-feed back exercises
3) Secondary to other diseases like hypothyroidism, anal fissure or a colonic obstructing lesion. Treatment involves correction of the cause
Hence a good history examination and few tests by your GI should be able to identify the type and then help you accordingly.

Thanks a lot Dr. XXXXXXX for your valuable feedback. I will certainly consult a GI and get the things done as per your suggestion. I will request you if you can help me about life style modifications and special diet (do’s and don’ts) which can improve the situation.
Hi again
Develop a good toilet hygeine like a fixed shedule preferably soon after awakening and after eating food.
Regarding diet it should be a high fibre diet with lots of salad and a good amount of liquids. Avoid smoking and intake of alcohol
