Hi,

Welcome to healthcare magic

I understand the inconvenience he must be facing..I suggest him to have foodstuffs with lots of fiber content like fruits and green leafy vegetables which will increase the bulk of stools facilitating easy passage of stools, avoid fast foods,spicy and oily foods, drink plenty of water, do adequate exercise regularly..If not relieved by this you can try taking cremaffin plus to relieve your symptoms. But I suggest you refer a gastroenterologist and ask his advice about doing a colonoscopy if the symptoms are not relieved.

Hope you find my answer useful.

Regards,

Dr. Tushar Tamboli
