Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having severe
constipation which could be due to many reasons such as
- poor absorption and inadequate digestion of food.
-eating a lot of dairy products
-irritable bowel syndrome
-some medications like antidepressants
-acidity and certain conditions like
hypothyroidism.
Need not to worry. You should start with drinking a lot of water , do light exercises and avoid fatty and heavy meals. I would suggest you to
consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order
colonoscopy or other tests to look for blockages in your colon , barium studies and
blood test for hormonal changes. Doctor may prescribe fiber supplement psyllium, calcium polycarbophil , osmotic laxatives , stool softeners and medicine to reduce acidity . surgery for rectocele.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
