Brief Answer:
Lifestyle changes first.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I think you should get firstly evaluated doing stool test to check for parasites , bacteria or occult blood.
Also you may need to do an abdominal ultrasound and possibly even a colonoscopy to check for the issues causing the frequent constipation.
You may need to change your diet first having more fibers, fruits and vegetables, ( prunes,kiwi , green leaves ) drinking more clean water .
Also doing physical activity may help intestinal moving.
You can take laxatives in case but not very often.
Now you can use an enema since you and not having a bowel movement for few days.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
