Hi,
Acute constipation requires immediate medical assistance with soap water enema, glycerin suppositories with or without manual evacuation of stool as per the case severity.
Maintenance should be with high fiber diet, plenty of liquids, bulk forming laxatives and diagnostic colonoscopy for best management.
