What Causes Constipation And Abdominal Bloating?
I have been experiencing bouts of constipation and a real bloated feeling lately. I had taken a hormone shot for 9 months and gained 20 pounds over this time. My diet is normal, not a perfect diet, but no bouts of overeating or fast foods. Also, I am on 300mg of Wellbutrin daily. Thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Chronic Constipation can lead to abdominal bloating. It may also lead to many severe conditions like hemorrhoids and fistulas.
I would advise you to incorporate a lot of fiber and green vegetables in your diet. Drink at least 5 to 6 liters of water daily and try to follow a strict exercise regimen.
For a few days, you can take a stool softener like syrup Lactulose at night to relieve your constipation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nazma.amman
