Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain it seems that the symptoms of hard and round stools , gas, bloating and pain in intestinal areas seems to be all due to Constipation.
Constipation can occur due to causes like lack of dietary fibres, sedentary lifestyle, stress, eating disorders,
Irritable bowel syndrome, weakening of muscles of digestive tract, diabetes, thyroid disorders etc..
I would a you to
consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Colonoscopy, blood tests etc can help in diagnosis..
You can be advised to take a high fibre diet..
Drink plenty of water..
Do moderate workout and walk after meals..
Take
stool softener like Docusate..
Fibre supplements like Psyllium can be taken..
Take laxative like
Polyethylene Glycol..
You can also be advised prescription drugs like Lubiprostone and Linclotide....
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.
