Suggest Treatment For Constipation

So its now Wednesday night, i'm having pains in my lower left abdominal area, and am considering going to the hospital. Monday night I started feeling like I had a stomach ache or something, couldn't sleep that night because of it, got maybe an hour or so of sleep. The next day I took a laxative at about 2PM thinking it was probably constepation. After a while the laxative started doing its work and I started feeling better. Besides being tired, that night I fell asleep around 11PM, woke up at around 1:30AM to use the bathroom a few more times, but the pain was back, and it kept me up the rest of the night. Which brings us to today, where the pain has only made it where I can't be comfortable at any point, but it seems to be getting worse now.

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to constipation. I recommend taking daily probiotics and also fibre supplements.

I suggest you take over the counter Laxative option such as Miralax. Your diet should contain fibre-rich foods and you should drink a lot of water.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
