HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern if you have history of constipation then no need to take any medicine for this the constipation can be corrected with diet alone and defecation habit, like have a more fibber containing diet drink more water, have regular habit of going to toilet for defecation no matter reflexes is there or not just go in and sit there no need to exert the force even if you do not pass the stool still keep this habit for every day, take care and have a nice day.
