Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.

Most cases of constipation respond to conservative treatment, such as dietary and exercise changes or mild laxatives.
If I was your treating doctor I will probably start treatment by recommending more fiber or bulk in your diet.
Except for fiber or bulking agents, over-the-counter laxatives should be avoided.

All the best
