Suggest Treatment For Severe Constipation

Plenty of water, high fiber diet and regular exercise, probiotic
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
Though symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of laxatives, the underlying cause for chronic constipation needs to be treated.
The causes of constipation can be:
1. Any pathology/ sub acute obstruction in the Gastrointestinal tract.
2. Irritable bowel syndrome- constipation predominant type.
3. Functional cause- due to decreased gastric motility.
4. Inadequate intake of fluids and fiber rich diet.
Since when she is having this problem?
Presently I would suggest you drink plenty of water and eat food rich in high fiber diet like green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits, avoid meat for few days. Avoid carbonated drinks.Regular exercise ( walking and light exercise). It would be better if you drink warm water in the early morning. Along with this you can take probiotic like sporolac or ecobion sachets which will be beneficial.
Try this measures I feel there should be some improvement.
This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.
I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you.
Take care.
