HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, let me inform you something, constipation is not the disease unless proven some pathology, and it can be managed with little changes in diet and habit, like drink more water, have fiber containing diet, keep the regular habit of defecation even in absence of feeling still be inside and sit there for while without exerting any force no matter if stool does not pass, no need to be over conscious if you do no pass the stool for days, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
