General & Family Physician, Dr. Indhu priyadharshini's Response

Hi,

I suggest you to take Actilax BD (twice daily) for 3 days. I recommend you to do squating exercise and Sitz bath. If you have constipation for long duration, I suggest you to do colonoscopy and refer a physician for further treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Indhu Priyadharshini, General & Family Physician
