Hello.
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic forum.
The problem you are having is due to hypothyroidism. To treat the constipation, you must first start taking tab levothyroxin according to your serum thyroxin levels. Once the thyroid hormone levels are stabilised, then your constipation will subside on its own.
