Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing back.
Main thing to do in treating the problem is controlling constipation,life style and medical changes .
1) Drink much water.(but no fizzy drinks)
2) Increase fibre in your food , eat whole wheat products.
3) You can use organic fibre supplements too.
4) Don't strain much during bowel movements.
5) In my clinic i would suggest my patients use spasmolytics like meberverine to relieve pain.
6) Eat less fats and keep meat content of food low..
7) Eat cereals more and vegetables.
8) You can use syrup cremafin to give mild stool softening effect.
9) I would also suggest my patients to use sodium picosulfate or lactulose if they needed more laxative effect.
10) Use of omerpazole 40 helps too specially in pains which happen after peptic ulcer can be suspected.
This can be controlled easily all you have to do is follow my instructions .Within two weeks you will see change.
I Hope this answers your question, if your have more queries feel free to ask,I will be pleased to alleviate your concerns.Wish you the best of health.
